CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Thursday, March 13, 1997:<\/em> A marquee attraction of \u201cCyberfest \u201997<\/strong>,\u201d a weeklong symposium at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<\/strong><\/a><\/span> exploring the correlation between technology and the arts as well as the place of artificial intelligence in the future of humankind, takes place this evening at the Virginia Theatre<\/strong> in downtown Champaign<\/strong>. A 70mm screening of the visionary Stanley Kubrick<\/strong> production 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY<\/strong> (1968), hosted by Chicago Sun-Times<\/strong><\/span> film critic and UIUC alumnus Roger Ebert<\/strong>, is scheduled for a 6:30 p.m.<\/strong> screening. This will be followed by Ebert\u2019s participation in the \u201cCyberfest Gala<\/strong>\u201d tomorrow night, Friday, March 14<\/strong>, at the UIUC Krannert Center for the Performing Arts<\/strong> in Urbana<\/strong>, during which he will interview participants of 2001<\/strong> including actors Gary Lockwood<\/strong>, slated to attend in person, and Keir Dullea<\/strong>, via prerecorded interview. Legendary science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke<\/strong>, whose short story The Sentinel<\/strong><\/span> inspired both his expanded full-length novel and the feature film, is expected to converse live with Ebert via satellite from his home in Sri Lanka<\/strong>. The glowing response given to Urbana native Ebert, as well as the theoretical discussions centered on cybernetic \u201cUrbana native\u201d HAL-9000 from the film and novel, would lead to the launch of Roger Ebert\u2019s Overlooked Film Festival<\/strong> at the Virginia two years later. Of course, HAL and 2001<\/strong> would be revisited at \u201cEbertfest<\/strong>\u201d in 2001<\/a><\/span> as the opening night presentation.<\/p>\n

FLICKER OF THE WEEK | Suggestions in Full-Motion Arts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tune back in to C-U Blogfidential<\/strong> next week for the tentative \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d denouement in which we\u2019ll offer first impressions of a multimedia exhibition on display at the UI Krannert Art Museum<\/strong> through Sat., 3\/25<\/strong>; this sentence fragment will be linked to the post<\/a><\/span> once our write-up regarding the Zina Saro-Wiwa<\/strong> installation, \u201cDid You Know We Taught Them How to Dance?<\/strong>\u201d, goes live. In the meantime, what would you<\/em> highlight if we turned over the \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d reins to you for engaging the movie-watchers of Champaign, Urbana<\/strong>, and the cities beyond with sound opinions, tangible wit, and factoid finesse? Hit us up via cuconfidential [at] gmail [dot] com<\/strong> between now and Sun., 4\/9<\/strong>, convincing us creatively in 250 words or less why you are the person for the job! Don\u2019t forget to include links to at least three applicable and previously-published pieces that will sell us on your FOWorthiness. To bring this zippy edition of our once-and-future department to an exciting close, we have a single consideration to impart upon you. KONG: SKULL ISLAND<\/strong> (Legendary Pictures\/Warner Bros.<\/strong>), directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts<\/strong> and starting Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson<\/strong>, and John C. Reilly<\/strong>, looks like an absolute blast with the liveliness largely missing from GODZILLA<\/strong>. Or, just go see it because it\u2019s King fucking<\/em> Kong! \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d is hereby finished<\/em> until further notice. Thanks for following along this past year!<\/p>\n
