About Simulados

Simulados is the story of a hunter-gatherer from 12000 years ago trying to survive in one of the most extreme climates in the world. In their journey we’ll learn how computer simulations help us understand the workings of our societies, and how they might help us face the consequences of complex challenges such as climate change.

About Imagine Science Film Festival
Founded in 2008 with the mission of bridging the gap between arts and sciences through filmmaking, Imagine Science Films encourages collaboration between scientists, who dedicate their lives to studying the world in which we live, and filmmakers, who interpret and convey this knowledge, to make science accessible and stimulating to the broadest possible audience. It is ISF’s vision that the way science is portrayed in the media will be artful, compelling, and accessible to all. ISF produces the annual Imagine Science Film Festival in New York to showcase short and feature length films of all genres that explore scientific concepts in compelling ways. In February 2015, the Imagine Science Film Festival Abu Dhabi was inaugurated in partnership with NYU Abu Dhabi, and 2016 saw the first edition of Imagine Science Film Festival Paris.
