Cinequest Film Festival (CQFF) in San Jose / Silicon Valley: Set in the home of the world's most influential media technology companies Cinequest showcases premier films, renowned and emerging artists, and breakthrough technology--empowering global connectivity between creators, innovators and audiences. Cinequest has led the world in its showcase and implementation of the innovations that have revolutionized film making, exhibition and distribution.
Although over 100,000 attend Cinequest, the three-block proximity of its state-of-the-art venues along with Cinequest's renowned hospitality, makes the festival experience as warm and personal as it is electrifying. Cinequest presents over 90 World and U.S. premieres with groundbreaking innovations by 700+ participating filmmakers from over 50 countries each year.
"I think the most important thing about Cinequest is it's definitely the first time I've ever come to a festival where my immediate reaction is, 'What do I have to do to be invited back?' and that's not normally my reaction. It's a perfect film festival in a glorious place."
-- Neil Gaiman, Maverick Spirit Award Winner
"Move over Cannes! Of the more than 4,000 film festivals around the globe, more than half take place on U.S. soil, and many rank among the best of the best. Our panel of film experts, movie buffs and festival gurus were tasked with narrowing down the field to the best 20 film festivals in the nation before we turned it over to USA TODAY and 10Best readers to choose their favorites. After four weeks of voting, we have a winner. Cinequest Voted Best Film Festival!"
-- USA Today
"Cinequest is the cure...while we're here, we're in a world that's different."
-- Harry Knowles, Ain't It Cool News
