"Sita Sings the Blues," an animated film made by former Uni student Nina Paley, is the weirdest, most confusingly beautiful movie Lauren Piester has seen in a long time, and one that is definitely not to be missed on the big screen at Ebertfest this weekend. It plays 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the Virginia Theatre. Get up to speed with Lauren's review.

This week marks the 11th annual Ebertfest, the much-anticipated five-day film festival at the Virginia Theatre. With Uni student volunteers working behind the scenes and a former student featured as one of the guest filmmakers, the school is well represented at this year's event.
