And the Grand Prix goes to “Life needs courage”
The jury was in favor of the corporate film „Das Leben braucht Mut“ („Life needs courage“) that was produced by stories AG for the Swiss accident insurance company SUVA. Besides winning the Grand Prix the film was also awarded with a Gold Dolphin in the category Corporate Image Films and a Black Dolphin in the category Best Director.

The honored film is based on three stories and detached from facts and figures about how SUVA accompanies their insured in their life. The jury was excited about the three storylines which merge together and in the end have a surprising twist. “The corporate image film seduced with its conventional form, but has a gripping turn and thus the form from the beginning got unraveled. That is exactly what made it such a unique and remarkable corporate image film.”, said jury president Peter Beck.
