Join us at the 23rd annual Roger Ebert’s Film Festival, which runs April 19-22 at the Virginia Theatre in downtown Champaign. Ebertfest—co-founded and hosted by Chaz Ebert—will honor the 10th anniversary of her husband Roger Ebert’s death by screening films and bringing filmmaker guests who exemplify the theme of “Empathy at the Movies.” The program for Ebertfest 2023 includes 11 films, two shorts, 20+ guests, and two musical performances.
See the full program and accompanying filmmakers participating in post-screening discussions.
Passes to see all films and individual movie tickets are available to purchase online or at the Virginia Theatre box office, 203 W. Park Ave., Champaign, 217-356-9063.
Roger Ebert was a Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, University of Illinois journalism alumnus, and Urbana native. Ebertfest is sponsored by the University of Illinois College of Media and Chaz Ebert.
