Roger Ebert announces his film festival's lineup

CHAMPAIGN – Roger Ebert believes it's a good thing that his film festival in Champaign is no longer tagged with the term "Overlooked."

The more general title, Roger Ebert's Film Festival, allows the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic to screen, at the 11th annual festival from April 22 to 26 at the Virginia Theatre, the Academy Award-nominated "Frozen River" and "Woodstock." The 1969 film, with director Michael Wadleigh present, will open the five-day festival.
