HEY BASTARDS.

For (I think) the first time ever, Roger Ebert’s famed Ebertfest will be streaming online. While this doesn’t include the films (for obvious reasons), it does include the panel discussions, the introductions and Q&A sessions after the films.

From the event website:

All streaming will be at the same URL, this one. Times are U.S. Central Daylight Time.

The intros will be brief; the Q&As can run 30-45 minutes. Start times for Q&As areapproximate. Onstage personalities are subject to change.

For Ebert’s intro and comments on every film in the festival, see his blog entry here.
