The deadline for buying reduced-price tickets to attend Brand Film Festival London 2019 – the award scheme and conference from PRWeek and ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 that celebrates brand storytelling – is tomorrow (Friday 22 March).

 will showcase Europe’s most artistic, creative and effective work through branded content films, from three-second clips to long-form documentaries.

The festival will honour the agencies, brands, filmmakers and storytellers behind the films, which will be screened at the Brand Film Fesival event at Hawker House, London, on 1 May.

As well as the awards announcements, the day will include showcases of the shortlisted films, plus presentations from top speakers. The event will be split into three themed sections: craft, creativity and effectiveness.

The creativity segment will look at:

• Using brand film to amplify your corporate purpose
• Using brand film to create emotional connection: neuroscience meets filmmaking on set
• Targeting all age groups through brand film

The effectiveness strand will examine:
