MFHQ & YOU:
\nA Guide to Spreading Oneself Thin in the Thick of It All<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than any <\/em>other week of the year in the C-U, movie-loving eyes are primarily focused upon one specific trajectory \u2013 the Virginia Theater<\/strong> \u2013 at which the annual Roger Ebert\u2019s Film Festival<\/strong> is now underway. However, what about the rest <\/em>of the story or, more accurately, the stories<\/em>? For the former, watch CUBlog <\/strong>in the coming weeks when we\u2019ll present a different perspective on this cinema spring than you\u2019ll receive from the preordained army of \u201cEbertfest<\/strong>\u201d bloggers<\/a> already camping out on Park Street<\/strong>. For the latter, look for us to light up CUBlog <\/strong>within the next few days not only with a major Ebertfest flashback from the archives, but also our second \u201cDouble Life of a Cin\u00e9aste<\/strong>\u201d column by filmmaking friend Tyler Tharpe<\/strong> and a short interview with central Illinois <\/strong>native and courageous AIDS <\/strong>survivor, film artist Dennis Neal Vaughn<\/strong>. Don\u2019t forget to broaden your horizons while out and about this weekend by experiencing other arts activities like the Artists Against AIDS<\/strong> show\/fundraiser<\/a>, which runs April 29-May 2<\/strong> at 804 N. Neil St.<\/strong> just north of downtown Champaign<\/strong>, the Midwest Zine Fest<\/strong> at the U-C Independent Media Center<\/strong><\/a> in downtown Urbana <\/strong>on April 30<\/strong> and La Casa Collectiva<\/strong> on May 1<\/strong>, The Light in the Piazza<\/strong><\/span> at the Station Theater<\/strong><\/a> in Urbana through April 30<\/strong>, and THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW<\/strong> at the Canopy Club<\/strong><\/a> in Urbana late-night on April 30<\/strong>! You can do it, heartland of America!<\/p>\n
