Cinequest has been a leader in building community\, audiences\, and opportunity for film and filmed media via groundbreaking tech and paradigms for decades and will continue the golden combination of live and online post pandemic. \nOrganizationally set in the home of the world's most influential media technology companies (Apple\, Cisco\, Facebook\, Twitter\, Netflix\, LinkedIn\, Occulus etc.) CQFF showcases premier films\, renowned and emerging artists\, and breakthrough technology empowering global connectivity between creators\, innovators and audiences. CQFF has led the world in its showcase and implementation of the technologies that have revolutionized film making\, exhibition and distribution. CQFF's blend of the artist and innovator gains focus through its Maverick Awards. Its Maverick Spirit Awards recognizes artists (Harrison Ford\, Nicolas Cage\, Elle Fanning\, J.J. Abrams\, Tatiana Maslany\, Jennifer Jason Leigh\, Bill Nighy\, Sir Ben Kingsley\, Rosario Dawson\, Spike Lee\, James Franco\, Neil Gaiman\, and Sir Ian McKellen are among the guest recipients). Its Maverick Innovator Award recognizes technologists (including Martin Cooper\, father of the cell phone\, and Steve Wozniak\, Co-founder of Apple Inc.). A Maverick stands apart from the crowd willing to create and innovate from a place of personal yet global vision. \nCinequest connects artists\, innovators\, media\, and audiences as people converge to experience a potent mix of immersive stories from around the globe and breakthrough technologies. Yet\, Cinequest's stellar reputation not only hinges on its knack for creating a powerful line-up\, but also for securing distribution for many of its honored filmmakers. Netflix\, IFC Films\, Amazon\, MSNBC Films\, Oscilloscope\, Sony Pictures\, Magnolia Pictures\, Kino-Lorber\, eOne\, Lionsgate\, PBS\, and HBO are just a few of the many that have signed deals with some of Cinequest's success stories.
