Chaz Ebert and the College of Media at Illinois are proud to announce the 2025 Roger Ebert’s Film Festival at the historic Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign, IL.
Roger Ebert’s Film Festival celebrates films, genres, and formats that have been overlooked by distributors, audiences, and/or critics. These include independent, international, and studio films that did not win wide audiences, overlooked formats such as 70mm, and overlooked genres such as documentaries and musicals.
The festival screens one film at a time – so that everyone sees the same movies together – promoting a strong sense of community among audience members, filmmakers, guests, students, and scholars.
It was founded by Roger Ebert, an Urbana native, U of I journalism graduate, and Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic for The Chicago Sun-Times.
