Festival films will focus in on an aspect of the connections between people and fish, the unique life cycles and habitat needs of different species, advances in fisheries science, or how resource practitioners and ordinary people are helping conserve fish and their habitats across the nation; films are anticipated that reflect the American Fisheries Society mission statement and strengthen the fisheries profession.

The film festival will take place during the American Fisheries Society’s 145th Annual Meeting over a two-day period. Films will be shown continuously during this time to allow meeting attendees to drop in to see films at their convenience.  Film submitters are encouraged to attend the conference and film festival.  Details on the conference can be found at http://2015.fisheries.org/.
