Arlee Theater to host short film festival
[March 05, 2026]
Guests of all ages are invited to enjoy a short film festival at
the Arlee Theater on Sunday, March 22 at 7 PM sharp. Entry to watch the
festival is by donation, and funds from the event will be donated to the
Arlee Volunteer Scholarship Fund. Entries are due by March 15, and must
be 15 minutes in length or shorter. All mediums are welcome, as well as
work from all ages, so long as it's family-friendly. Files must be in
.mp4 or JPEG2000 format. The main goal of this annual event is to
showcase what people, especially those living in Central Illinois, are
creating often independently.
In previous years, this annual event has been surprised by a tidal wave
of international entries, with hundreds pieces coming from nearly a
dozen different countries around the globe, as well as some charming
local pieces by a wide age range of incredibly talented filmmakers. Last
year's event alone had over 130 entries, which was narrowed down to 22
final shorts making the cut.
Details: The festival will be presented Sunday, March 22 at 7 PM sharp
at the Arlee Theater. Admission to the festival will be by donation.
The Arlee is located in Mason
City, IL.
