EGSA - Insect Fear Film Festival

The Insect Fear Film Festival - scaring the general public with
horrific films and horrific filmmaking since 1984

The 26th Insect Fear Film Festival was held on Saturday, February 28th in Foellinger Auditorium, and was a great success. This year's theme, Centipede Cinema, featured among the worst movies in the history of IFFF. To quote one attendee, "I thoroughly enjoyed it." The wonderfully horrible movies, along with the petting zoo (larger this year than in years past), the bumble bee colony, Bugscope, and art contest entries, attracted one of our larger crowds in IFFF history. Thanks to all who attended and helped make it a success; we hope you enjoyed it.

IFFF Art Contest:

For many years, we have held an Insect Art Contest in conjunction with the Insect Fear Film Festival. The art contest is organized and presented by graduate students and judged by volunteers from campus and the community, but participation by teachers and students truly makes the art contest a success. In the past, we have solicited entries from art teachers in area schools, but we think that participation in the Insect Art Contest can extend beyond art classes. Any student in the community is welcome to enter! If you are interested in the contest, please click the links below for the contest rules and entry form.
