The Berlin Commercial Festival is an annual international event that recognizes achievements in visual culture, primarily focusing on commercial work, music videos, and independent film projects.[1][2] The Berlin Commercial Festival was founded in 2012 under its former name, The Berlin Fashion Film Festival.[3][4] The festival's founder is Philipp Ulita.[5][6]
The festival recognizes achievements across three mediums: Commercial Work, Music Videos, and Personal Work.[6] Within each main medium, the festival includes a variety of craft categories such as Casting, Cinematography, Color Grading, Costume Styling, Direction, Editing, Idea, Production Design, Use of Sound & Music, and VFX/Animation.[7] The festival also presents a Cultural Impact award, which recognizes works that raise public awareness or promote social causes like gender equality, racial equality, or peace.[8][9]
The festival winners are selected by a panel of industry professionals.[10] The selection process involves multiple qualification rounds: Raw Selection, Official Selection, Shortlist, and the final announcement of Winners.[11]
