"The theme for the March 10-22 festival is Unbridled, which certainly reflects the spirit of the event's eye-popping 268-film selection, including short-film programs. Screenings will take place at the California and Hammer theaters in San Jose and the Alamo Drafthouse in Mountain View."
"This year also marks a first for Cinequest, with the presentation of two Maverick Spirit awards: one to beloved character actor Steve Zahn (March 14, after a screening of She Dances which he co-wrote and stars in) and the other to the accomplished star Vivica A. Fox (March 14, after a screening of the thriller Plan C, in which she co-stars)."
"Highlights abound, including director Ben Wheatley's violent and funny neo-Western Normal (March 21) starring the always dependable Bob Odenkirk; and director Steven Soderbergh's latest The Christophers (one of two closing night features on March 22) starring Sir Ian McKellen in a skewering of the art world."
Cinequest celebrates its 35th year with the theme Unbridled, presenting 268 films including shorts across three venues: California and Hammer theaters in San Jose and Alamo Drafthouse in Mountain View. The festival opens March 10 with John M. Keller's comedy Her Song and closes March 22 with Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers starring Ian McKellen. Notable screenings include Ben Wheatley's neo-Western Normal with Bob Odenkirk and the 1925 silent classic Ben-Hur. The festival honors actors Steve Zahn and Vivica A. Fox with Maverick Spirit awards. Bay Area filmmakers are featured, including Dana Nachman's shorts and John Kim's comedy Reunion.
