About 

 Cinequest 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, Roadside Attractions, 1091 Pictures, 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.  

 

In 2021, Canadian films BEANS and DEATH OF A LADIES MAN were selected as part of the online festival. The 2022 in person edition will host MONTREAL GIRLS, ASHGROVE, THE FAMILY, LABOUR DAY among other Canadian films. 

 

Cinequest is an Academy Award qualifying festival for short film categories.
