This year's Insect Fear Film Festival brought fun and entertaining films, displays, and attractions to throngs of excited veterans and newcomers alike. One of the more popular attractions seemed to be the insect "petting zoo", where guests could hold all sorts of creepy-crawlies and learn a thing or two about them in the process. Visitors perused the various table displays and learned interesting entomological facts that tied into the theme for this year's festival: "prehistoric insects." The IFFF Art Contest submissions were also on display for visitors and proud parents to admire while navigating the bustling and crowded Foellinger auditorium. May Berenbaum, the program director for IFFF, announced the contest winners as well as introduced the main attraction, the insect fear films: The Black Scorpion and Ice Crawlers. Below is a short movie highlighting some of the sights and sounds of the 27th annual Insect Fear Film Festival.
