CU Cinema Crawl | March 3–8, 2027
This new film festival—a collaboration between Film CU (a part of Experience Champaign-Urbana), the Film-Fanatic.Club, and the University of Illinois College of Fine & Applied Arts, to be held March 3–8, 2027—will connect film lovers near and far through a week of storytelling and awe-inspiring visual experiences on the screen, in traditional and non-traditional spaces.
Participating venues include the Virginia Theatre, Parkland Staerkel Planetarium, Analog Wine Library, Spurlock Museum, University YMCA, The Literary Book Bar, Krannert Art Museum, Savoy 16, and many more.
The festival will announce its complete film lineup and schedule soon.
Festival passes will be available in January, and individual film tickets will go on sale in February.
