APS Film Festival Call for Submissions

Imagine your scientific research on film. No other medium can reach as wide an audience and have as much of an impact as film and video. The 2011 Association for Psychological Science Film Festival lets you put your science on the silver screen.

Psychological science includes a range of subdisciplines and overlaps with many other sciences. However, you don’t have to be a scientist to submit your film. Anyone with a great idea can submit a video, film, or animation sequence on psychological science in the areas of research, application, and teaching.

You don’t have to be an expert filmmaker or have a 35mm camera either to share your story. Need some help finding inspiration? Check out these videos!  The festival will be held in conjunction with the APS 23rd Annual Convention in Washington, DC, May 26-29, 2011.

To be considered for screening at the APS 23rd Annual Convention,

submit your film by February 15, 2011
