Cinequest runs in San Jose from February 25 through March 8, with "250 screenings, 150+ films, with 80 U.S., North American, and World Premieres."
In addition to all the new films they’ll be showing (none of which I’ve seen), here are a couple of interesting events:
- How often do you get to see D. W. Griffith’s two major epics, on the big screen, with with live organ accompaniment? They’re screening The Birth of a Nation (which takes a certain amount of guts in and of itself) Friday the 27. Intolerance screens March 6.
- Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody wins this year’s Maverick Award. Her event is on Friday, March 6th, 3:00 at the San Jose Repertory Theatre.
