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.

1 Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives Life Itself – Roger Ebert, In Memoriam: Two Thumbs Up Sophia Stein · Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014 Life Itself is such a poetic and fitting way to honor Pulitzer-Prize winning film critic Roger Ebert, a man whose life was the movies and who brought the pleasure and power of the movies to so many of us. The phenomenal documentary is directed by Steve James (Hoop Dreams), with executive producers Steve Zillian (Moneyball) and Martin Scorsese (The Departed) at the helm. With such an accomplished core creative team interpreting his memoir, life and death, Roger Ebert is in great hands. The film offers insights about the function of cinema, the symbiotic relationship between artists and critics, the cut-throat professional competitiveness, the transformative power of love at any age, and how to stare death in the eye and meet that final curtain call at the end of the “third act” with acceptance and grace. “The movies are like a machine that generates empathy,” Roger instructs. It is impossible to leave the cinema without feeling such deep empathy, respect and appreciation for this luminary. Roger’s passion for cinema was infectious, and thanks to him, we all caught the cinema bug. I felt privileged to have seen the film for the first time during its premiere at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. I took the opportunity to watch it a second time, just before conversing by phone with Roger’s equally brilliant wife, Chaz Ebert. Chaz spoke of how much she is looking forward to seeing the film in a theatre with a regular audience finally! — this Friday, July 4.

SCOTT IT IS NOW ALMOST A YEAR SINCE “Wendy and Lucy” played in Cannes — not a watershed moment in the history of cinema, perhaps, but a quiet harbinger. Kelly Reichardt’s third feature, about the struggles of a young woman and her dog stranded in an Oregon town en route to Alaska, was certainly among the more admired ﬁlms in a strong festival, where it showed out of competition. But by the time it opened in New York last December, the movie, a modest, quiet, 80-minute study in loneliness and desperation, seemed like something more — not so much a premonition of hard times ahead as a conﬁrmation that they had arrived. “Wendy and Lucy,” with Michelle Williams in one title role (the other belonged to Reichardt’s dog), had a successful art-house run and found its way onto many critics’ year-end best-of lists (including mine). There was some talk of an Oscar nomination for Williams, who was so believably ordinary in her look and so rigorously un-actressy in her manner that you could easily forget her celebrity. But “Wendy and Lucy,” released by Oscilloscope Laboratories, a small and ambitious new distributor started by Adam Yauch, a member of the Beastie Boys, would have looked a little awkward alongside the other Academy Award nominees. It’s true that the big winner, “Slumdog Millionaire,” concerns itself with poverty and disenfranchisement, but it also celebrates, both in its story and in its exuberant, sentimental spirit, the magical power of popular culture to conquer misery, to make dreams come true.

DeKalb County residents flock to local screening of 'At Any Price' By FELIX SARVER - [email protected] Created: Saturday, May 11, 2013 5:30 a.m. CDT Updated: Sunday, May 12, 2013 12:35 a.m. CDT Comments (0) Text Size: AaAaAaAaAa Matthew Petersen (center), 15, of DeKalb watches movie previews with his friends Jesse Heinsohn (left), 16, and Ali Morreale, 15, on Friday before the showing of "At Any Price" at the Carmike Market Square 10. In the movie, Petersen played the part of Brett Johnson, who is the brother of Zac Efron's character's rival. (Monica Maschak – [email protected]) "At Any Price" Premieres in Dekalb "At Any Price" with Dennis Quaid, Zac Efron, and Heather Graham was filmed last year in Dekalb and the local area and now the locals are excited to see their hometown on the silver screen. To order DVDs of Daily Chronicle videos call 815.526.4611. DeKALB – When several local extras who appeared in “At Any Price” went to go see the movie for the first time, they had the hardest time focusing on the story itself. Linda and Kevin Herrmann, who were extras along with their children, saw the movie Friday at the Carmike Market Square 10 on 2160 Sycamore Road; the local screenings will continue this week. After watching the movie, Kevin Herrmann said he was more focused on noticing all the familiar DeKalb County locations in the background. “It’s kind of hard to watch it as a normal movie,” Kevin said. Karyn Petersen, whose son Matthew has a speaking role in the movie, had the same problem.
