Twitter has helped bring the Ebertfest experience from Champaign-Urbana to the rest of the world. We collected some of the best tweets about Ebertfest this year and wanted to share:
What I love about @ebertfest is that it EXTENDS films' lives, whereas most festivals deliver movies w/o helping w their future.

After watching YOUNG ADULT and CAPOTE, this year's @ebertfest has reminded us of something invaluable: writers are the worst.

One thing I've learned from @ebertfest is that I want to be @ChazEbert when I grow up. She's funny, smart, amazing, and BOUNDLESS. Love her.

Reading tweets from @ebertfest has me flashing back on how joyous & sad & beautiful it was to be there last year. No film festival like it.
