The Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival, running from March 11-23, will feature 238 films, highlighting nearly half as premieres. With a theme of 'Luminate', it aims to showcase the enlightening aspects of art and community. Over the years, Cinequest has positioned itself as a leading platform for emerging filmmakers through a model of programming films mainly from open submissions. This year’s festival reflects its commitment to discovery in film, art, innovation, and the connection of creative minds.
"It's unheard of amongst the world's leading film festivals to do what we do: Program 85 to 95 percent of our films annually from open submissions. Why is this important? It has established us as the breakout bastion for new films rather than an event that rehashes work that was discovered elsewhere."
"The first is discovery. Discovery of films, art and the technologies that influence and impact filmmaking and distribution. Since the festival was founded in 1990, it has always placed an emphasis on discovering new and emerging voices and creators."
