History
Filmmakers Halfdan Hussey and Kathleen Powell founded Cinequest in 1990. The festival occupied a single theater (the Camera 3 Theatre in San Jose) and showed 60 films during this debut event. In subsequent years, the festival has grown to an thirteen-day event showing over 150 films and attracting over 90,000 attendees. Presently, the festival screens at the prestigious California Theatre, the San Jose Repertory Theatre and Camera 12 Cinemas. Cinequest Film Festival is widely known as a true discovery event--having helped discover over 2,500 films and film artists from over 100 countries throughout its history.
