Coronavirus — or at least fear of its spread — hit Cinequest on Saturday morning, as the organizers announced that the film and creativity festival’s second week would be rescheduled until August in response to public health recommendations about large gatherings.

Festival Director and CEO Halfdan Hussey said that just as NBA and NHL games were continuing this weeked, Cinequest’s events and screenings scheduled for Saturday and Sunday would go on as planned. But the remainder of the festival, including screenings of scores of movies in both downtown San Jose and Redwood City and a closing night event featuring actor Jesse Eisenberg, won’t go on this week.
