Cinequest is thrilled to present director Charles Oliver?s Take as our Closing Night Film for the 2008 Cinequest. Featuring a haunting and resolute performance by Minnie Driver (Grosse Pointe Blank, The Riches) and an intense portrayal of a desperate man by Jeremy Renner (North Country, S.W.A.T.), Oliver beautifully constructs a powerful film about a man looking for salvation and a woman looking for the closure she needs to go on living.

My First Taste of Death and Papiroflexia tell unique stories with depth and vision through animation, while Mondmann is an astonishing, Terry Gilliam-esque flight of fancy.

Cinequest is proud to present a selection of shorts from 17 countries around the world that will astonish, inspire, and pique at the curiosity with an extensive range of challenging and redemptive stories. Experience documentaries fold into drama, then flow into animations and maybe end in comedies. Absurd farce will bump shoulders with real life and bored youth will transcend?it?s a roller coaster ride from one film to the next.
