APPEL A FILM !! APPEL A FILM !!! CALL FOR ENTRY !!! CALL FOR ENTRY !!! CINEQUEST FILM FESTIVAL San Jose, California - USA February 24 to March 8, 2015 In the Spotlight today is the 25th Annual Cinequest Film Festival (CQFF), lauded by Chris Gores Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide as one that sets the trends and is actually ahead of the trends. Drawing more than 100,000 film lovers a year, and eagerly connecting artists and innovators to extraordinary distribution opportunities, CQFF benefits from powerful relationships with outlets including IFC Films, PBS, HBO, and Lionsgate. The combined impact of this extraordinary network ensures several films at CQFF get noticed not just in San Jose, California, but around the globe. As an Academy-qualifying festival for short-form categories, CQFF proudly honors the winners of its Best Short Narrative and Best Short Animation prizes with a shot at Oscar gold. Beyond shorts the festival continues to showcase an impressive array of feature and documentary films; in 2014 Cinequest screened 86 World and US premieres to sold-out theaters across Silicon Valley. The coveted Maverick Spirit Award has been presented to such luminaries as Harrison Ford, Sir Ben Kingsley, William H. Macy, J.J. Abrams, Sir Ian McKellen, Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walter Murch, Vilmos Zsigmond and many others. Last year, Christopher Meloni received the award for his performance in Joel Surnows Small Time - a stunning directorial debut from the Emmy winning writer. Submissions to the festival are evaluated in an exciting array of competitive categories, including the Maverick Feature Competition (for international voices and personal visions), New Visions (for adventurous artists dedicated to redefining their respective crafts), Global Landscapes (for films that dare to explore new terrains, cultures, and regions), and the Student Short Film Competition. Feature narratives, documentaries, and short films are all welcomed at CQFF. All told, CQFF is a heady blend of premier films, emerging artists, technological innovators, and more.
