    Senior ad film director Prasoon Pandey will head the Film Craft jury at the Dubai Lynx International Festival of Creativity to be held in Dubai from March 9 to 11. “Honestly, I’ve always found it unbelievably difficult – this business of dissecting the joy of great storytelling into its basic elements (such as Film Craft) in order to recognise and honour the geniuses behind it. It’s the umpteenth time that one is going to attempt to do so, but the bloody thing never ceases to intimidate me,” said Mr Pandey, whose Corcoise Films has produced some awardwinning work including Fevicol, The Times of India, Perfetti and SBI Life Insurance.

     

    Commenting on the jury line-up, Terry Savage, Chairman of Lions Festivals, says, “We’re delighted to complete the Dubai Lynx jury line-up for 2014 with this global collection of industry experts. We can be sure that these well-respected individuals will use their specialist knowledge to award and showcase the best of the region’s creativity. It will be fascinating to see which entries are deemed noteworthy by the judges at this year’s awards.”

     

    As reported earlier, Preeti Vyas (VGC) and Paresh Chaudhury (Madison) have also been invited to the Design and Public Relations juries respectively.
