Sked for IMC Film Fest available
Wednesday night, IMC Film Festival co-director Nicole Pion sent out the final schedule which we’ve reproduced after the jump. Those who want the nitty gritty about their movie choices can find more information posted here; otherwise, dive right in between tonight, Friday, February 6, 6 p.m., and Sunday, February 8, 10 p.m., at the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center, 202 S. Broadway Ave., in downtown Urbana. I’m starting to have flashbacks that are a little bit freaky … and it feels good.
Twenty-eight indie films, two all-ages classics, one DJ, two jazz musicians, one multi-media installation, one improv troupe, several discussion sessions, and one artist’s lecture by the funtastic Laura Zinger will comprise the bill, sponsored by Strawberry Fields, Common Ground Food Co-op, La Gourmandise, One World Pizza, Shatterglass Studios, Mirabelle Fine Pastries/Bakery, That’s Rentertainment, and the two-headed threat of MICRO-FILM and C-U Blogfidential. The UCIMC itself is sponsored in part by Community Shares and the Illinois Arts Council.
CUBlog sincerely thanks Pion and Stephen Fonzo, along with their volunteers, sponsors, and contributing filmmakers, for staging the IMC Film Festival. We hope that it helps revitalize the need in our community to experience and contemplate non-traditional, creative, and ephemeral media as well as inspires us to take up that camera and call, “Action!”
