When the pandemic shut down the in-person film festival, Cinequest created Cinejoy, a virtual live experience that launches for this year on April 1.
When Cinequest was canceled midway through its 30th anniversary festival two years ago this month, nobody had any idea what the future of Silicon Valley’s film and creativity festival would hold. Well, almost nobody.
The “alpha” version of a live, online festival launched that October when people were still reeling from the first big wave of the pandemic. Two more were held in 2021 and the fourth iteration will run April 1-17, with 132 movies and television shows — including 82 world and U.S. premieres — from 53 countries available to audiences.
“We feel this is a unique experience that we’re very excited about,” he said. “This was not a COVID substitution only. We’re going to keep building out new super-cool experiences that fit the world of global access through the internet.”The San Jose Public Library Foundation will be recognized at Tuesday’s San Jose City Council meeting for its 35th anniversary.
“What does this $2 million mean? If parents need a safe place for their children go to after school, if they need help with their child to complete homework assignments and prepare for a successful transition to adulthood, if parents need fun and educational activities, the city can provide this,” said Coppin, who was joined at the rally by San Jose City Council member Chappie Jones, whose mother was a librarian.
