But I’m not sure anyone expected the lineup to include programming originally planned for home screens. Now, before anyone starts lighting their celluloid torches, the shows are very much in line with Cinequest’s “maverick” ethos. It includes six feature-length international productions as well as two shorts programs of TV comedy and pilot drama. We’re not talking about your standard network fare here.
