MFHQ MEMO | From Chambana with Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been a six-month slog for your humble editor, given his almost weekly travels back-and-forth between Champaign County<\/strong> and northern Illinois<\/strong> to help dear old Ma JaPan<\/strong> with an end not exactly within reach, but he made an eleventh-hour decision last week to continue the New Art Film Festival<\/strong><\/a><\/span> this year instead of pushing it into the future. The show will be a leaner affair than usual but get the job done all the same on Sunday, October 29, 2017<\/strong>, at the Art Theater<\/strong> in <\/span>Champaign<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Filmmakers should look for the first press release to circulate next week in regards to the NAFF call for entries; we\u2019ll certainly make note of it here on C-U Blogfidential<\/span><\/strong> as a reminder. Cheers!<\/p>\n
