The annual festival brings together film producers in a range of  categories including television, documentary and adverts s – from more than 50 countries to compete for an award.

At the Awards Ceremony that took place on 25 April 2017 in Las Vegas, NLMK Group’s corporate film ‘Fusion’was awarded the bronze medal in two categories: Internal Use and Public Relations.

No professional actors were involved in the making of the film, which stars only NLMK employees.

The film is part of the #teamNLMKcommunication campaign that brought together NLMK Group employees from 20 facilities across seven countries. The core of the campaign was an international video greeting competition, which received ~ 400 entries from NLMK Group employees worldwide.
