The Arlee Theater's annual Short Film Fest was Saturday, March 22. The pool of over 200 entries was narrowed down to a small final selection, mostly from local filmmakers, to result in an hour-long screening of nine shorts, seven of which were from Illinois filmmakers (and most from students).

Arlee volunteer Hailee's Compounding Interest Rap, which started as a class project, brought the most laugh of the night, while David Smalley's 40 Below in Caribou, Maine tugged on the heartstrings and brought several people to draw parallels between its story (about Tremont cross country coach Mike Lynn) and Illini Central's beloved Jimmy Newell. 40 Below in Caribou, Maine took home the "Most Inspiring" award, and Lucas Burlison's horror trailer Twas The Night After took the "Daring to Dream Big" award. Faceless from Justin Tomlianovich was voted "People's Choice" and went on to be screened before showings of "The Bride!" the following weekend.
