"While the first half of this year's festival, set for March 10-22, will take place in its homebase of downtown San Jose, the second half will be held at a venue that some Cinequest fans should find familiar yet changed. In deference to the Nvidia conference, which last March drew about 25,000 folks to downtown and took over many of the venues that Cinequest attendees usually frequent, the festival will pull up stakes and move to the Alamo Drafthouse in Mountain View starting March 14."
"Films will be screened in both downtown San Jose and Mountain View on March 14-15. On that Saturday, Cinequest will host two Maverick Spirit Award events, marking the first time the festival has welcomed two recipients on the same day. Vivica A. Fox will receive the Maverick Spirit Award during a moderated conversation following the world premiere of her latest film, "Plan C." Steve Zahn will be honored following a presentation of "She Dances," which also stars Ethan Hawke, Rosemarie DeWitt and Zahn's daughter Audrey."
Cinequest Film and Creativity Festival runs March 10–22 with the first half in downtown San Jose and the second half at Alamo Drafthouse in Mountain View beginning March 14. The venue change responds to the Nvidia conference's impact on downtown venues. Films will screen in both San Jose and Mountain View on March 14–15. The festival will host two Maverick Spirit Award events on March 15, honoring Vivica A. Fox after the world premiere of her film "Plan C" and Steve Zahn following a presentation of "She Dances." The festival will screen 268 new films from 44 countries, including 123 world and U.S. premieres, and will present two closing night films on March 22.
