Friday distraction: 15 Cannes Lions winners for your viewing pleasure

Look, it’s a Friday afternoon. In July. If you haven’t already left the office and you’re looking for a distraction, The Message has got you covered. Below, for your viewing pleasure, we present 15 Lions winning commercial films—some of the very best creative from around the world in the last year.

We chose winners from either Film or Film Craft categories that have, for the most part, been slightly less exposed here in Canada. There’s an emphasis on non-American work, though not entirely so. They are presented at random and without comment. We’re not even going to tell you if they won Gold or Silver. That’s for you to decide.
