"Festival CEO Halfdan Hussey, who announced the lineup for the 35th annual edition of Cinequest on Monday morning at the Hayes Mansion in South San Jose, said unbridled provokes very different reactions for him and his co-founder, Kathleen Powell. The theme is a nightmare for her and a joy for me. People that work with me used to say it's like working in the Wild West, until the sheriff rode into town. That'd be Kathleen."
"But in terms of Cinequest, Hussey says unbridled describes how he wants festivalgoers to really let go and immerse themselves in a cinematic world together. A lot of times in life, we feel constraints but when you come into a world of the arts, it opens up your mind, he said. When you get around other people, it gets you excited about life."
Halfdan Hussey named Unbridled the theme for Cinequest's 35th annual festival to encourage attendees to let go and immerse themselves in film together. The festival runs March 10–22 in downtown San Jose and Mountain View and will show 268 features and shorts from 44 countries, including 123 U.S. or world premieres. Opening night presents Her Song, a comedy produced by James Ivory and directed by John M. Keller, preceded by a special AI and Film presentation. Cinequest will showcase short films made using artificial intelligence tools and frames technology as a filmmaking tool with examined pros and cons.
