Dear all,

We warmly invite you to the first event in this term’s Humanimals Season at the 
Grant Museum…

Under the Caribbean (1954) on the Big Screen
Wednesday 18th January, 6.30pm
JZ Young Theatre, Anatomy Building, University College London, Gower Street, 
WC1E 6BT

This Oscar-winning documentary by Austrian wildlife film-maker Hans Hass 
displays stunning photography of the underwater world, including 
ground-breaking shots of whales around the Galapagos and insights into the life 
of scientists at sea.

Both a classic science film and an hilarious shark-filled romp, this is a real 
must-see. Accolades aside, its English dubbing and the zoologists’ pretence 
that their dialogue is taking place underwater make it seem like a cross 
between Monty Python and Eurotrash.

Film buff and science historian Dr Joe Cain (UCL Science and Technology 
Studies) will introduce the film. Following the film join us for a free glass 
of wine in a private view of the Museum. Admission is free and there is no need 
to book.

Spring 2012 is Humanimals Season
The influence animals and humans have on each other is enormous. This Season at 
the Grant Museum of Zoology we will be exploring the interactions between 
animals and humans. Through classic film nights, lectures, discussions and 
hands-on workshops we will investigate human concepts in the animal world, and 
animals venturing into the human world. We’ve got a lot to learn from the 
cross-over. See the full programme here:
