IMC Film Fest returns Sept. 15
Good morning, C-U Blogfidential nation! Because of our behind-the-scenes work load, we haven’t been able to assemble extensive pre-fest coverage for either independent film festival taking place this coming weekend in central Illinois, but we can pass along the basics in appreciation of their organizers’ hard work! Starting first by a day is the third annual Independent Media Center Film Festival, offering a largely Midwest regional selection of shorts and features between tomorrow, Thursday, September 15, and ending roughly at midnight on Saturday, September 17. New festival director Chris Lukeman and volunteers Brian Dolinar and David Gracon have assembled an interesting mix of social issue films along with offbeat comedies and dramas, genre pieces, and art videos. Please hit the jump for the complete schedule sans liner notes and look to their Facebook page for additional information and updates. Taking place completely at the central IMC events space in the old Post Office building at 202 S. Broadway in downtown Urbana, the IMC Film Fest is free admission to the general public.
