📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Ebertfest was an annual film festival held every April in Champaign, Illinois, United States, organized by the College of Media at the University of Illinois. Roger Ebert, the TV and Chicago Sun-Times film critic, was a native of the adjoining town of Urbana, Illinois, and was an alumnus of the University. Founded in 1999 as Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival, this event was the only long-running film festival created by a critic. Despite Ebert's death in 2013, the festival continued to operate until 2026 based on Ebert's notes and vision for the kinds of films he championed.
