SILICON VALLEY'S CINEQUEST FILM FESTIVAL SEEKS FILMS, FILMMAKERS, AND NEW
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

SAN JOSE, Calif.  July 1, 2000 -- CINEQUEST FILM FESTIVAL will be accepting
submissions of feature and short films of artistic, social or stylistic
merit for its Eleventh Annual celebration of international
cinema.  Cinequest 11will occur February 22 through March 4, 2001 in San
Jose, California, the heart of Silicon Valley and seeks maverick,
innovative and personal films that reveal compelling stories from a wide
variety of film artists. 35mm, 16mm, digital and video for all genres are
accepted.

Famous for placing filmmakers in a personal, interactive environment where
new visions emerge, Cinequest's goal is to empower the maverick with
exciting opportunities to talk with film lovers, meet filmmaking peers, and
experience the latest in cutting-edge technologies developed by mavericks
in Silicon Valley for the global filmmaking community.

"Cinequest is one of my two favorite festivals along with the Havana Film
Festival, Havana for its cigars and Cinequest for what it does for
filmmakers."    Christopher Coppola, director Palmer's Pick Up and Bel Air.

Early submissions are encouraged.
