Select C-U Blogfidential Stories, 2006-2011<\/strong>
\nPart 4 of 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cC-U Biz-en-sc\u00e8ne: 8.12.2010<\/span>,\u201d 8\/12\/10<\/a> \u2013 In the third edition of our \u201call-purpose\u201d weekly column, we discovered the charm and delivered on its potential for effectively chronicling C-U movie culture in all its permutations. We shout out to everyone in Champaign, Urbana<\/strong>, and the cities beyond for providing the meat to our backbone with all their wonderful and\/or crazy projects!<\/p>\n

\u201cOld theaters appear in C-U books<\/span>,\u201d 9\/28\/09<\/a> \u2013 Very few print volumes have addressed the movies or movie-going of Champaign-Urbana, so it\u2019s nice to see a few palaces appear in the ephemeral books Champaign<\/strong><\/span> and Urbana<\/span><\/strong> from Arcadia Publishing<\/strong>. We shout out to Raymond Bial, Ilona Matkovski<\/strong>, and Dennis Roberts<\/strong> for picturing the older theaters in their respective collections.<\/p>\n

\u201cBE BOLD! proceeds Oct. 25 to C-U<\/span>,\u201d 10\/24\/08<\/a> \u2013 How can one not <\/em>respond to artistic personalities whose wit and exuberance also permeate their work? We shout out to \u201clowly\u201d print maker Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr.<\/strong>, for following his muse and prolifically (hand) cranking out striking graphics, and also to Laura Zinger<\/strong> of 20K Films<\/strong> for invigorating her documentary career by telling his story through her camera lens.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifth public access channel afoot?<\/span>\u201d 12\/12\/07<\/a> \u2013 We\u2019re intrigued with the thought of bringing our Confidential selves to the masses via cable access, crossing over as did our friends at SmilePolitely<\/span>.com<\/strong> who took to the WEFT-FM<\/strong> airwaves. We shout out to the open-minded C-U film folk who\u2019ve already convinced these outlets to broadcast their work, breaking the glut of dry and predictable programming.<\/p>\n

\u201cMUMMY, WEREWOLF prowl again<\/span>,\u201d 4\/15\/2006<\/a> \u2013 Coming down from the communal euphoria fed by everyone attending last week\u2019s New Art Film Festival<\/strong>, we applaud our featured filmmakers who aggressively publicized the show alongside us. We also shout out to independent movie artists everywhere unafraid to ballyhoo creatively, even when it means doing it themselves to get their cinema seen.<\/p>\n
