“In the wrong hands a film like this could have been lost to over sentimentality, or victim to a few false notes, but it is in fact perfectly complete and the obvious work of a filmmaker in utter command of his craft.”

The first-ever Grand Prix was won by Portugal for the ‘Portuguese (Re)Constitution’, for Penguin Books, by FCB Lisbon.
“This year’s Grand Prix in Design shows the power of a simple idea — freedom, and the use of the most primitive medium to execute it — a pencil,” said Design Lions Jury President, Lisa Smith, Executive Creative Director, Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR), USA.
“We debated at length whether a publication should be a Grand Prix in an era where we have all the technology and innovation at our fingertips, but the symbolism of defacing a fascist constitution with poems using words selected from the historic document and illustrations covering the remaining ones was not only the highest form of craft and execution but sending a beautiful message of freedom of speech that many children in Portuguese schools will go on to learn for years to come.”
