Cinequest announces program
Cinequest announced yesterday in San Jose its 2008 program, emphasizing its role as a “discovery” festival that culled its 153 features and shorts from 1,800 submissions. The festival continues to offer distribution to a select set of films from its festival after the festival is completed. The festival, which runs Feb. 27-March 9, features a rich set of panels for filmmakers. Its Maverick Spirit Award goes this year to John Leguizamo and his film “Where God Left His Shoes” screens. It also features conversations with screenwriter Michael Arndt (“Little Miss Sunshine”) and screenwriter/actor/producer (“Million Dollar Baby”) Bobby Moresco.

SF360.org offered some of the Bay Area’s leading voices a chance to weigh in on their film favorites and disappointments for the year, as well as their hopes for the next. We present an edited selection of their comments here.
