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


THE INSX-FILES: THE TRUTH (ABOUT INSECTS) IS OUT THERE

The 30th Annual Insect Fear Film Festival will be held on February 23, 2013 in Foellinger Auditorium (UIUC Campus). To honor the 30th year of the IFFF, Chris Carter, creator/director/producer/writer of the series and the movie spin-offs will attend the event. Admission is free and the doors will open at 6 PM. In addition to the films, there will be the traditional IFFF activities, including face painting, the insect petting zoo, and Bugscope.

Help spread the word about the 30th IFFF on Facebook or Twitter. #IFFF30

X-Files T-Shirt design1 X-Files T-Shirt Design #2
These designs will be available for sale as T-Shirts during IFFF and were designed by entomology graduate students. Youth, women's and adult sized shirts will be available in both designs. Long-sleeved shirts in adult sizes will also be available. Contact John Madddux at maddux2@illinois.edu if you would like to order shirt/s but cannot attend IFFF.


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.

For more information about the Insect Art Contest, contact Joseph Wong (wong62@life.uiuc.edu) and Linnea Meier (lrmeier2@life.illinois.edu).
