Annual ABS Film CompetitionThe Animal Behavior Society hosts a film competition each year during its Annual Meeting. The Film Festival was organized by the society in 1983 to honor the outstanding amateur (non-commercial) and professional (commercial) films produced in the preceding five years that portray important concepts in animal behavior research and education. The Film Festival promotes the Animal Behavior Society's goals of research, teaching, and conservation at the university and college level. For more information about the competition, including past entrants and winners, please see the ABS Film Committee's page, or contact the committee chair, Todd Freeberg. |
