Become a sponsor of Roger Ebert’s Overlooked Film Festival!

APRIL 26 – 30, 2000

It is because of sponsors like you that we are able to continue the first major, international film festival in the history of Champaign-Urbana.  Additionally, proceeds from the festival will benefit the restoration efforts of the Virginia Theatre.

Interested parties should contact Melissa McKillip at 217-244-0552, fax 217-333-9882, or mmckilli@uiuc.edu
