Closing Night Gala - 13 Moons
Running time: N/A
Cinequest alums and audience favorites, Alexandre Rockwell (In the Soup) director and co-writer and Brandon Cole (OK Garage) co-writer, return with a pungent and provocative drama in the finest of Cinequest's maverick tradition. Starring Steve Buscemi (Ghost World, Fargo) and David Proval (The Sopranos, Shawshank Redemption), plus featuring Jennifer Beals (Cinequest Maverick Spirit Winner), 13 Moons provides the perfect finale to Cinequest's strongest film line-up ever. On an ordinary Los Angeles evening, an odd assortment of people walk into the life of bail bondsman Mo Potter, a man who's been going through the paces of a flat life getting flatter. Each will find by the end of the eventful evening that his/her life has been changed forever and that each has learned something important about one of life's mysteries: by helping someone in need we help ourselves far more. The film will screen at the fabulous San Jose Repertory Theatre. Prior to the film screening, Cinequest will announce its Jury and Audience Award Winners. Afterwards, audience and filmmakers will gather at the magnificent A.P. Stump's for a sensational post-screening party. The party will include a sumptuous presentation of hors d'oeuvres, desserts, music, and festive drinks. This is an event not to be missed, so get your tickets quickly as seating is limited. Cinequest extends a special thanks to A.P. Stump's whose loyal generosity has graced the Cinequest Film Festival for four consecutive years.
