Introducing Ebertfest

Every year Pulitzer Prize winning film critic Roger Ebert chooses a dozen or so films he feels are "overlooked" by mass audiences. He states that he defines any film as 'overlooked' if he wants to show it badly enough. His annual Overlooked Film Festival was held at the historic Virginia Theater in downtown Champaign in April 2005.
