Presented by Illinois Public Media, home of WILL-TV, WILL-AM, and WILL-FM.

An acclaimed, fanciful comedy about a young woman who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making.

Despite being caught in her imaginative world, Amelie decides to help people find happiness. Her quest to spread joy leads her on a journey where she finds true love.

Beautifully photographed in over 80 Parisian locations, "Amelie" finds director Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Delicatessen"; "The City of Lost Children"; "Alien Resurrection") invoking his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day France through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue.

Doors open at 6:15.





THE ARTHOUSE EXPERIENCE Film Series
Described as limited-release, high-quality titles that have captured the imagination of movie lovers, the Virginia Theatre’s Arthouse Experience Film Series is programmed by special guest curator Sanford Hess.

The movies that Mr. Hess selects—a mix of award-winners, Ebertfest favorites, and recent classics—are presented one Friday each month on the Virginia’s 52-foot wide movie screen, with state-of-the-art surround sound.

Each film will be followed by a post-show discussion and in some cases an on-stage talk by directors, producers, and other special guests.
