<br>Greetings, friends!<br><br>We apologize for the absence of written myrth! With a second New Art Film Festival in the can, a fifth astounding issue of C-U Confidential about to deliver, a bonus local filmmaker panel at the IMC's Midwest Zine Fest in Urbana this Saturday at 2 p.m. (be there!), and yes, the return of "Ebertfest" to downtown Champaign beginning Wednesday, who has time to merely sit and type a lot of interesting stuff to pass along to you, dearest readers, even though that's exactly what you crave from us at the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters?<br>
<br>We do when we make the time, just for you. Observe:<br><br><a href="http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=3229">http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=3229</a><br><br>In this edition of C-U Blogfidential’s all-purpose column, “C-U Biz-en-scène,” we reveal another Dreamscape DVD release, mention an EIU Call for Papers, encourage entry in the IFO “Shortcuts” contest, and pimp the movies now playing/renting near you!
