Animals are a constant part of most of our lives. Some are food, others friends, and some become foe. (I'll never go camping again without a bear cannister.) Humans have been forging different connections with animals for as far back as historical records go. Cave drawings depict hunters and hunted. Some researchers link the development of civilization with the domestication of dogs.

Menus are usually the first interaction a diner has with a restaurant. They used to be posted on windows to draw passers-by in. Today, they're posted on websites to draw hungry diners scrolling Google. At the table, trifolds, fresh sheets, clipboards, cardstock and QR codes all tell you what to expect from your meal — not only from the food, but also from the vibes and even values of the eatery.

After years of virtual-heavy festivals in the wake of the pandemic, SpIFF is trying to return to in-person screenings in a big way. Everything is blown out for this 25th anniversary SpIFF, which runs from Feb. 9-16. Last year there were 12 features — this year there are 19. The number of shorts has increased over 2023 from 44 to 57. In recent years there have been about 10 to 15 visiting filmmakers at the festival. This year? That number is above 40 filmmakers. But most crucially, there are 30 in-person screenings this year, starting with the opening night Best of the Northwest shorts program at the Bing Crosby Theater on Feb. 9, with all subsequent screenings at the Magic Lantern. That’s a huge leap from just 10 in 2023.
