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

10 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Thursday, August 28, 2008:<\/em> In a fresh effort to provide timely film news in a portable format in between their regular C-U Confidential<\/span><\/strong> issues, Paper Opteryx<\/strong> of Champaign<\/strong> introduces The CineMicroGraph<\/span><\/strong>, a copy-shop title named after the act of filming life through a microscope. Numerous topics are touched upon in its 12 pages including the beginnings of both Champaign Movie Makers<\/strong> and Shatterglass Studios<\/strong>. After a shorter second issue, designed to double as a bulletin to be posted around town on message boards, CMG<\/span><\/strong> would be cancelled due to costs and a lack of community response. As reported on 8\/23\/08<\/span><\/a> at<\/em> CUBlog<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Week of Monday, August 24, 1998:<\/em> University of Illinois<\/strong> alumna Melissa Fanella<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, a double major in English literature and rhetoric\/creative writing, opens Caffe Paradiso<\/strong> at the corner of Lincoln Avenue<\/strong> and Nevada Street<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in Urbana<\/strong> during the first week of fall semester at her alma mater<\/em>. Intimate and artistically decorated to affect a European feel, her shop sells an array of coffee and specialty drinks as well as pastries, soups, and sandwiches. The space is shared with a new satellite location of That\u2019s Rentertainment<\/strong>, which eventually moves one storefront over to allow the popular hangout and study spot to triple its seating capacity. Named after CINEMA PARADISO<\/strong>, the famous Italian coming-of-age drama, this Paradiso becomes a go-to location for nascent self-publisher Jason Pankoke<\/strong> to pour over content for the long-gestating debut issue of MICRO-FILM<\/span><\/strong> magazine.<\/p>\n
