20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 November 1-3, 1997:<\/em> University of Illinois<\/strong> Ph.D. candidate Grace Giorgio<\/strong>, recently transplanted from San Francisco<\/strong> to Urbana, and Red Herring Vegetarian Restaurant<\/strong> manager Eric Fisher<\/strong>, an avid cartoonist and Decatur<\/strong> native, launch the Champaign-Urbana Freaky Film Festival<\/strong> on campus to showcase wild independent cinema from across the country. Opening night takes place in the auditorium of the Noyes Laboratory of Chemistry<\/strong> building on the UI Main Quad<\/strong>, anchored by the black-and-white crime film RUNNING TIME<\/strong> and personal appearances by its producer\/director Josh Becker<\/strong> and star Bruce Campbell<\/strong>. Two dozen shorts are presented between this event and subsequent shows the next two evenings at the Channing-Murray Foundation<\/strong> chapel, located two blocks away from Noyes.
