The films for this year's Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival have been announced (finally!) on the website. The fourteen films currently listed are:
Patton--(1970, dir. Franklin J. Schaffner)
Innocence--(2000, dir. Paul Cox)
Grand Canyon--(1991. dir. Lawrence Kasdan)
Diamond Men--(2000, dir. Dan Cohen)
Paperhouse--(1988, dir. Bernard Rose)
Hyenes--(1992, dir. Djibril Diop Mambety)
A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries--(1998, dir. James Ivory)
Kwik Stop--(2001, dir. Michael Gilio)
Metropolis--(1927, dir. Fritz Lang)
Metropolis--(2001, dir. Taro Rin)
Two Women--(1999, dir. Tahmineh Milani)
George Washington--(2000, dir. David Gordon Green)
Say Amen Somebody--(1982, dir. George T. Nierenberg)
The Gleaners and I--(2000, dir. Agnes Varda)
It looks as though Patton will be shown in 70mm. (I assume this may be the opening night film like 2001, shown in 70mm, was last year.) The Alloy Orchestra is back to provide live orchestral accompaniment for Metropolis. The festival takes place April 24-28 in Champaign, Illinois.
I went last year and have already purchased my pass for this year. I had a great time and am looking forward to this year. (I may be looking forward to it more this year since I've seen fewer of the films.) Fifty bucks for a festival pass. More info is available at the official site www.ebertfest.com
