Out of 267 films from 84 countries, the pre-selection committee nominated 30 films for SIMA 2013. “These films stood out in their creative approach to impact storytelling, their potential to inspire awareness, compassion and social transformation, and ignite a deeper understanding of how global issues affect the everyday lives of people and societies around the world,” writes SIMA.
