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.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

  • A Brief Education on Indigenous History
    Phillipe & Jorge’s Cool, Cool World: Stuff of Legends: A brief education on Indigenous history Me Tarzan A local athlete you might not have heard of (outside his community) is Ellison Brown, born on the Narragansett Reservation in 1914. A mind-boggling distance runner, Brown was known publicly as “Tarzan,” although members of the tribe called him “Deerfoot.” Tarzan won the 1936 and 1939 Boston Marathons, and was on the historic 1936 US Olympic team that competed in Berlin, but was unable to race due to an injury. But to his credit, reports were that injury didn’t keep him from getting into a fight with some of Adolf Hitler’s Nazis at a local beer garden. A stonemason and shellfisherman, Brown ran distance races barefoot, and if you’re an avowed masochist, try that on for size. He would also disappear into the South County woods for days at a time, getting back to nature in his own way. He overcame a great deal of racism, and according to reports, once said he had to get his hair cut in New London because the barber in Westerly wouldn’t do it. Tarzan Brown has long been a legend in South County and deservedly so. And his duel with the Boston running star John Kelley in the 1936 Marathon, which Tarzan won, led to the christening of “Heartbreak Hill” toward the end of the 26+ miles. (see Fest at motifri.com/TarzanBrown) Mayflower P & J live in The Biggest Little by choice, which we hope is true of all residents.
