First-time filmmaker Jennifer Burns’ feature-length doc will be the only Illinois-made film to screen at EbertFest, April 21-25 in the great Illinois heartland at Champaign.
But that only makes the screening sweeter for Burns, whose feature-length doc, “Vincent: A Life in Color,” will play among 13 films especially favored by film critic Roger Ebert, for whom the festival is named.
“I made a movie that Roger Ebert loves, and that’s a dream come true,” Burns says of her singular filmmaking experience that differs from the classic path from college to career.
