Roger Ebert’s Film Festival is set to captivate Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, for Year 23 from April 18-22, 2023. Here are the base details and important resources for you to know.
Filmmakers of all ages have a week and a half left to submit their short subjects to the brand-new CU International Film Festival, which is set to debut in October on the UIUC campus.
If we can’t have the Art Theater, then we’ll gladly take an “Arthouse Experience” in its place. The program’s first series at the Virginia Theatre ends tonight with a showing of THE WHITE TIGER.
Student film showcases have bloomed in downstate Illinois! We point you toward one virtual and two physical events based at Millikin U. in Decatur and U. Illinois in Urbana. Are u ready to attend?
CUBlog resumes posting just in time for the resuscitation of Roger Ebert’s Film Festival! Year 22 launches later tonight at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign, Illinois, and we have the schedule.
Trick or treat! Five indie horror flicks originating in or adjacent to the meat-and-potatoes midsection of Illinois make the cut in our new marathon report. Come along for the haywire hayride, hardy souls!
We’ve finally completed the chronology of C-U Confidential and MICRO-FILM events on the ‘Picture Shows du C-U’ page. It only took us 12 months to get back to it, a-hem. Check it out!

We delved into the Tubi platform and retrieved intel on movies from both the history of Ebertfest and the fabric of our very being in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. Links aplenty now await you!
When life hands you lemons, make the best movies possible with limited means! This is the lesson behind the children-led Pens to Lens show that premiered virtually at Facebook on August 15, 2020.
Our first post today is to announce the website for the New Art Film Festival has been retired. What transpires in the future for the NAFF will dictate whether it will be of service to the C-U as before.
In an ideal situation, the New Art Film Festival would be joining other downstate Illinois film events in engaging and enthralling you. In this case, the NAFF cheers on their festival friends from afar.
We see that many indie and not-indie film festivals are exploring online streaming. The New Art Film Festival isn’t primed to do that right now but they still have such sights to show you on YouTube!
We’ve finally built a permanent home for the New Art Film Festival on C-U Blogfidental via the ‘Picture Shows du C-U’ page. Did you know we write more than posts on CUBlog? Read about it!
