The mission of Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film
Festival is to praise overlooked films, genres, and formats that
have been overlooked. Chosen by Roger Ebert, the entries include
films without distributors, independent and studio films that did
not win wide audiences, formats such as 70mm and silent films, and
overlooked genres like the documentary. We work to keep the festival
small enough so that a sense of community can develop among the
audience, the film-makers, the guests, University of Illinois
students and scholars. The festival is a non-profit event of the
University of Illinois College of Communications.
