Having just concluded Cinequest 20, the partners in this destination film festival are working on a scheme to bring cameras to the children of some of Earth’s worst neighborhoods. Meanwhile, it’s their intention to transform San Jose into a film hub. If any part of the plan sounds unlikely—well, it was twice as unlikely that this team would get a film festival up and running in an area that had previously chewed up and spit out several film fests. A veritable institution now, it’s hard to imagine San Jose without Cinequest.
