Ebertfest 2018 has been slowly but surely revealing itself (first, The Fugitive, and the amazing guests Ava DuVernay, Julie Dash, and Amma Asante) — they’ve announced another film and guest for this year’s 20th anniversary celebration.

Read Kate’s article from earlier this week with Melissa Merli as she counts her favorite memories from Ebertfest of year’s past.
