  This year the new film catalog will be posted on the ABS web site. You can help us identify good quality, "tried and true" films covering any topic that would be relevant to the field of animal behavior. We are asking members to submit the names of films or videos that they find useful in their teaching or research. Please include the following information about each film/video:

  • title,
  • year,
  • length in minutes,
  • color or b&w,
  • format (16mm, 1/2"VHS, etc),
  • source, and a
  • short (several sentences) synopsis.

  These titles will be added to the film catalog. Please contact anyone on the film committee.
