The XXIV Annual Animal Behavior Society Film Festival. Saturday, 16 August and Sunday, 17 August.
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.
Film Festival Categories
NON-COMMERCIAL: Made by an individual or persons largely associated with animal behavior from a teaching, research, and/or applied perspective. The assistance of professional photographers or a university media/photography department is allowed, but the film must be made primarily for educational/research purposes, and not with the major goal of grossing an income for the individual or the professional photographers. Typically, it is the individual who initiates the film’s production.
COMMERCIAL: Made by professional photographers – filmmakers with the express purpose of grossing a new profit. The film is promoted through extensive advertising and may be shown on national television as part of an ongoing series (example: National Geographic serials, BBC’s “Wildlife on One” films). Various scientists may or may not be used as consulting experts, but typically the scientist is not the individual initiating production of the film.
