From the “Images of the Week” Dept.: With one public display of C-U cinema in the books and another coming up very soon, we recall the 10th anniversary of our original attempt at presenting movies and reveal a failed bid at bonus street cred for our not-ready-for-prime-time efforts.

Champaign Movie Makers, a group dedicated to fostering independent and personal filmmaking in the Champaign-Urbana area, will next meet at the M2 Building in downtown Champaign, IL, on Tuesday, November 17, 2009.

Join us for this important flashback 10 years in the making, dearest readers of C-U Blogfidential.

We, the undersigned, do declare that C-U Confidential, the digest of the Movies of Champaign, Urbana, and the Cities Beyond, will engage the public discourse regarding independent local cinema for a second session during the 2009 calendar year. Tut, tut!

Your editor remembers that personal success often comes in the smallest of packages.

The good news: March 3, 2009, is the release date for MICRO-FILM 8. The bad news: We’ve decided to shelve The CineMicroGraph after one issue.

“C-U Confidential” will be back on the beat during Roger Ebert’s Film Festival, April 23-27, 2008, in downtown Champaign, Illinois. Get it FOR FREE while supplies last!!!
