Cinequest 2010
San Jose, California — February 23 - March 7, 2010

The first step: setting your film priorities

The goal of this site is to help you see the films you really want to see, so you'll start by prioritizing the festival's films: indicate your preference for each film by clicking one of the little circles next to each film — the scheduling assistant will use these priorities to build a custom schedule for you.

The highest priority means "I *really* want to see this!," and the lowest means "I don't want to see this: never schedule it for me;" if you've made a choice and want to remove it for some reason, clicking the leftmost circle will forget you ever made a choice.

New for 2011: If there's a film you've seen already, you can note what you thought of it here by entering a rating; you can also enter ratings later. (I'll be sharing these ratings — see the FAQ page for details.)
