Cinequest Contributor Program
Cinequest celebrates 20 years of Empowering the Maverick
Enjoy increased Contributor benefits during the electrifying twentieth Cinequest Film Festival. As a contributor, you have the opportunity to gain elevated access to Exclusive Events, Maverick Spirit Guests, VIP Soirees, The Academy Awards Party, special recognition in the Program Guide, VIP Access, Technology Forums, and Express Line Priority—an amazing value offered at one of the world’s top ten film festivals. In addition, contributors are entitled to a sneak peek into the highly anticipated 20th Anniversary Festival lineup at the Cinequest 20 Kick Off Party held January 2010. Most importantly, your generosity empowers Cinequest Programming, helping them bring international film premieres and artists to film lovers.
There are two simple ways to make a monetary contribution to Cinequest. Register below by clicking on the corresponding contributor level in blue or fill out a downloadable PDF form and mail it with your contribution to: Cinequest Inc., P.O.

All Pass and Individual Ticket Holders will queue up together in one line on a first come first serve basis during Cinequest Film Festival 20, unless you hold an Express Line Pass. An Express Line Pass grants access to priority entry. Receive an Express Line Pass by becoming a $100 level (or above) contributor to Cinequest. It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting Cinequest!
