Our resolution will be CUBlogged

Tuesday, January 14th, 2020

We’re not sure what to tell you. Chances are good our reel life will give way to real life. It may mean the end, a new beginning, a suspended animation, a salvage mission. Choosing your own misadventure sucks.

Alas, no NAFF 2019 show for you

Friday, November 22nd, 2019

There’s really not much more to say on behalf of the New Art Film Festival. We need a short break from it publicly, starting now, even though we won’t get a break from it privately until further notice.

Feeling a little bit MICRO, are we?

Tuesday, October 29th, 2019

What a crock of hooey. The Art Theater is closing. The New Art Film Festival is in limbo. C-U Confidential #10 is still not fully distributed. What next? Oh, yes. We’ll always have MICRO-FILM. Right.

Patience trumps pile-up at MFHQ

Wednesday, April 17th, 2019

Does anybody remember when your humble editor was an artist and photographer instead of a Confidential provocateur? We present the dirt on his past dalliances in black-and-white and living color!

…So we will rock you with CUZine

We may also have legitimacy and dependability in our print history, but our budget lifeline has dried up. It’s finally time to beg and grovel publicly for help to put C-U Confidential back on the board.

And another NAFF bites the dust…

Tuesday, November 6th, 2018

We may have legitimacy, dependability, and a long track record, but we don’t have all the answers. Who does? It’s time to reflect on the need for the New Art Film Festival in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.

In My Backyard: Year 12

Monday, October 22nd, 2018

“In My Backyard” Year 12 was obviously shelved, so here we go again at long last. We’re posting plug-and-play content as we now count down and lead up to Year 14. This time, we correct course on passionate words.

Out on the streets, constructive reading can be hard to come by. Luckily, Champaign-Urbana, we have a solution for you this holiday weekend! We also pay respects to our editor’s late uncle, a Navy veteran.

In My Backyard: Year 11

Monday, May 1st, 2017

The start of Year 11 must have been heaven, so we neglected the annual address. Therefore, we’re posting plug-and-play content as we count down and lead up to Year 12! To wit, we fill out a few thoughts once lost.

In My Backyard: Year 10

In My Backyard: Year 9

It is rare for us to offer a rational lampoon on the politics of our day, but, here it is! We go top-heavy with humor as WILLIAM SHATNER LENT ME HIS HAIRPIECE jogs past memories and jib-jabs a presidential transition of power.

In My Backyard: Year 8

The start of Year 8 must have been so hype that we neglected the annual address. We also slipped the next four years. Time to plug holes as we slog towards Year 12! First, we fall back on an Octopus reprint from 2000.
