This February 6, 7 and 8th, the Urbana Champaign Independent Media Center
(IMC) will be hosting the IMC Film Festival (www.imcfilmfest.org). This
three day celebration of the art of cinematography will highlight local
and independent artists and kickoff monthly IMC Film Nights.  It will also
be a chance for local and independent filmmakers to share their work and
connect with other artists, community members, and organizations. We are
advertising widely within the artist and art-supporting communities. The
IMC also has a wide support base of almost 600 different community
members and volunteers.

Works by local and regional filmmakers will be featured, with submissions
coming from Chicago, St. Paul, Iowa City, and Champaign-Urbana.

The IMC Film Festival will be open to all, FREE of admission charges.
