Users will be able to easily download or stream full-length feature films, as well as shorts, trailers and select scenes from Cinequest Online onto their computers and handheld devices, and play them back in full-screen, DVD-quality whenever they choose. Film fans and industry executives also will be able to schedule the automatic delivery of films in advance, as well as other content from Cinequest Online, including film screenings, seminar presentations or daily festival updates and other highlights delivered directly to their inbox.

After Cinequest 14 concludes, Cinequest Online will continue to provide ongoing distribution and a free subscription vehicle to greatly expand exposure to independent and other breakthrough or "Maverick" film artists.

Cinequest Online's secure delivery network is enabled by leading-edge technology from Kontiki, the foremost provider of video on demand technologies to businesses. In addition, the launch of the new service is supported by palmOne, Inc., the leading provider of handheld devices. Highlighting the power and versatility of Cinequest Online, Kontiki and palmOne are teaming to provide festival goers with the capability to use their Tungsten tungsten (tŭng`stən) [Swed.,=heavy stone], metallic chemical element; symbol W; at. no. 74; at. wt. 183.85; m.p. about 3,410°C;; b.p. 5,660°C;; sp. gr. 19.3 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, +4, +5, or +6.

"Over the past 14 years, Cinequest has been recognized as the first film festival to tap into and pay tribute to the creative and Maverick talents of the film and computer industry. It is only natural for Cinequest to 'Maverick' the Internet for filmmakers and fans and, in so doing, redefine distribution and access to independent films," said Halfdan Hussey, co-founder of Cinequest.

"The promise of the Internet has gone unfulfilled for filmmakers and most of what has transpired to date has been lacking in quality, impact and artistic control," Hussey added. "With Cinequest Online's secure movie-sharing network, we intend to change the playing field. Cinequest Online will provide an ongoing easy-to-use, high quality and secure venue for getting films to fans while providing additional educational and historical value to students, professional filmmakers and film lovers."

Cinequest Online is launching with an extensive selection of exciting content from this year's festival. Highlights include:

-- A selection of the 68 features and 38 world premiere Noun 1. world premiere - (music) the first public performance (as of a dramatic or musical work) anywhere in the world
