Ebertfest: The Schedule
Posted on April 15, 2012 at 8:00 am
I’m thrilled to be attending Roger Ebert’s film festival again this year. Next week, I will return to Champaign-Urbana Illinois to help present two magnificent films, “Higher Ground” and this year’s Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film, “A Separation.” Can’t make it to Illinois? You can watch all of the presentations online. And of course I will be posting updates. Hope to see some of you there!
