Our movie and media Calendar appears every Friday\/Saturday on <\/em>C-U Blogfidential<\/span><\/strong> and caters to the downstate region anchored by Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, USA.<\/em><\/p>\n ~~~~~<\/p>\n FIELD REPORT DU HQ | From Wherever It May Be Said<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are three timely items that you might want to look up today, if it\u2019s no trouble. First, the acclaimed MTV Documentary Films<\/strong> release FINDING YINGYING<\/strong>, which reflects on the abbreviated life of former University of Illinois<\/strong> research student Yingying Zhang<\/strong>, will stop being streamed after this Sunday, June 13<\/strong>, at Pluto TV<\/strong>, MTV.com<\/strong>, and several cable providers<\/a><\/span> that carry MTV VOD content, although it will remain in the Paramount+<\/strong> catalog. Elsewhere, Champaign<\/strong> residents Matthew Gladney<\/strong> and Ashley Rodman<\/strong>, who team up regularly to record the podcast Mashley at the Movies<\/span><\/strong>, just released an IN THE HEIGHTS<\/strong> episode<\/a><\/span> in which they review the musical with special guest Rosa<\/strong> of the Latinx Lens<\/strong> website<\/a><\/span>. Finally, passes went on sale this past Monday, June 7<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, for the 22nd Roger Ebert\u2019s Film Festival<\/strong>, and surely the event will be a hot ticket in September at the Virginia Theater<\/strong> of Champaign since we\u2019re apparently free to congregate in Illinois<\/strong> again. Do the public things smartly, dearest citizens. Please.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n CONFIDENTIAL ALMANAC | Dates in Film Culture History<\/strong><\/p>\n 15 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Saturday, June 17, 2006:<\/em> Champaign<\/strong> movie studio Dreamscape Cinema<\/strong> follows up the successful local debut of their flagship title SHEEBA<\/strong> in March with the world premiere of sophomore release DISCONNECT<\/strong>. The time travel drama starring Steffany Huckaby, Michael Muhney, Amanda Troop, Holmes Osbourne, Eddie Jones<\/strong>, and Tami Erin<\/strong> makes its 7 p.m.<\/strong> debut at Foellinger Auditorium<\/strong> on the University of Illinois<\/strong> campus in Urbana<\/strong>. DISCONNECT<\/strong> would closely follow its predecessor into the United States<\/strong> entertainment marketplace by a few weeks in early 2011 as a DVD edition issued by Osiris Entertainment<\/strong>. Dreamscape founder Robin Christian<\/strong> served as writer and director for this offering.
