Roger Ebert’s Film Festival 2017 April 19–23, 2017 Chaz Ebert, Co-Founder, Producer, and Host Nate Kohn, Festival Director Casey Ludwig, Assistant Director More information about the festival can be found at www.ebertfest.com Mission Founded by the late Roger Ebert, University of Illinois Journalism graduate and a Pulitzer Prize- winning film critic, Roger Ebert’s Film Festival takes place in Urbana-Champaign each April for a week, hosted by Chaz Ebert. The festival presents 12 films representing a cross-section of important cinematic works overlooked by audiences, critics and distributors. The films are screened in the 1,500-seat Virginia Theatre, a restored movie palace built in the 1920s. A portion of the festival’s income goes toward on-going renovations at the theatre. The festival brings together the films’ producers, writers, actors and directors to help showcase their work. A film- maker or scholar introduces each film, and each screening is followed by a substantive on-stage Q&A discussion among filmmakers, critics and the audience. In addition to the screenings, the festival hosts a number of academic panel discussions featuring filmmaker guests, scholars and students. The mission of Roger Ebert’s Film Festival is to praise films, genres and formats that have been overlooked.

  • Rétrospective – Le Secret
    Rétrospective – Le Secret Blow out, de Brian de Palma USA – 1981 – 1h47 - Couleur Fiche pédagogique rédigée par Sébastien Perreux Scénario : Brian de Palma Image : Vilmos Zsigmond Montage : Paul Hirsch Musique : Pino Donaggio Interprètes : John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow Synopsis Jack est preneur de son dans le cinéma, et cherche un cri effroyable pour le film d’horreur sur lequel il travaille. Une nuit, alors qu’il capte des bruits dans la nature, il assiste à un accident de voiture dont il enregistre chaque détail sonore. Voyant que la voiture passe à travers la balustrade d’un pont et tombe à l’eau, il se jette au secours des passagers. Puis le lendemain, en écoutant l’enregistrement de l’accident de la veille, il se rend compte que le hasard n’y est sûrement pour rien. Avant la projection Biographie *Cinéaste américain né en 1940 d’origine italienne comme beaucoup d’autres grands réalisateurs de cette époque (Scorsese, Coppola…), même si ses origines n’auront pas autant d’importance dans son œuvre que pour ses contemporains. *C’est un adolescent plutôt doué, même plus, qui témoigne de vraies aptitudes pour les sciences et se lance dans l’invention de petites machines, encouragé en cela par des parents assez exigeants du point de vue de l’éducation. *A noter, trois chocs vécus dans sa jeunesse, tous essentiels dans la construction de sa personnalité : *Choc intime, personnel. Un épisode de sa jeunesse, moins anecdotique qu’il n’y paraît et dont on trouve des traces dans sa filmographie lorsque le jeune Brian découvrit sa mère inanimée, après qu’elle eut tenté de mettre fin à ses jours, du fait des infidélités à répétition du père.

  • The Essential Man
    The Essential Man by Chris Jones Published in the March 2010, Esquire Magazine For the 281st time in the last ten months, Roger Ebert is sitting down to watch a movie in the Lake Street Screening Room, on the sixteenth floor of what used to pass for a skyscraper in the Loop. Ebert's been coming to it for nearly thirty years, along with the rest of Chicago's increasingly venerable collection of movie critics. More than a dozen of them are here this afternoon, sitting together in the dark. Some of them look as though they plan on camping out, with their coats, blankets, lunches, and laptops spread out on the seats around them. The critics might watch three or four movies in a single day, and they have rules and rituals along with their lunches to make it through. The small, fabric-walled room has forty-nine purple seats in it; Ebert always occupies the aisle seat in the last row, closest to the door. His wife, Chaz, in her capacity as vice- president of the Ebert Company, sits two seats over, closer to the middle, next to a little table. She's sitting there now, drinking from a tall paper cup. Michael Phillips, Ebert's bearded, bespectacled replacement on At the Movies, is on the other side of the room, one row down. The guy who used to write under the name Capone for Ain't It Cool News leans against the far wall. Jonathan Rosenbaum and Peter Sobczynski, dressed in black, are down front. "Too close for me," Ebert writes in his small spiral notebook.

It destroys her family and forces her mother to flee. Sensing that the gossip stems from prejudice and superstition, Chanda leaves home and school in search of her mother and the truth. LIFE, ABOVE ALL is an emotional and universal drama about a young girl (stunningly performed by first-time-actress Khomotso Manyaka) who fights the fear and shame that have poisoned her community. The film captures the enduring strength of loyalty and a courage powered by the heart. Directed by South African filmmaker Oliver Schmitz (Mapantsula; Paris, je t-aime), it is based on the international award winning novel Chanda’s Secrets by Allan Stratton.
