I’m Semira Ben-Amor, a proud International Branch member, now asking for your consideration and support for the position of Co-President of International Branch.
With a pool of talented members representing many countries, the International Branch has huge potential! We represent many countries and have a chance to grow the knowledge of Critics Choice abroad and in the US. I have a vision for how we can bigger and stronger together.
My goals are:
* Get our awards and celebrations recognized and known across the globe. Critics Choice Awards should be seen internationally.
* International members need access to screenings, links and events – which most of us are still lacking. I’d like to make this my mission.
* Create international content to the CCA website, YouTube and Social Media, made by members of our branch. I ran a production company for 14 years while in Finland, and our clients included Warner Bros., Universal, AMC, so I have the expertise to get this initiative underway.
As well as the International Branch committee, I’m an active member of the Marketing, Women’s, and Festival Committees, and served on the Super Award nomination committee. Being involved in these committees helps me understand what’s happening inside our association and gives me great tools to strengthen our international community.
Thank you for your consideration.

Semira is a do-er! As a member of the Women’s Committee, she’s been all in with everything we’re doing. She’s a ball of energy, helping liaise with the Marketing committee, attending events where we need her, consulting and providing an ear for difficult situations, and going above and beyond to help with our needs for the SOFEE Seal, even when it isn’t convenient. Where there are problems, she’s ready to move quickly to create solutions. She’d make a phenomenal co-president of the International Branch! Vote female, vote Semira!

Semira would make a great co-president of the International Branch! I have had the honor of getting to see some of her work through the women’s committee. She is do-er but also a thoughtful listener. She finds solutions, has constructive ideas and a passion for film/tv.

Semira shows up and represents. She’s always nice and friendly and despite being a mom with two young children she manages to juggle it all. I know she’s running because she’s curious to learn more about the organization from the inside and how she can contribute and also give the voice of the female lens.

I would look forward to seeing her as a co-president of the International Branch and knowing that there’s always a face at events where I can share my thoughts, and opinions to.
