FILM TREATS: 'Beneath the Banyan Tree' (pictured) is one of 75 features included in CineJoy.

CineQuest, San Jose’s premier film festival, may have ended in May, but that doesn’t mean cinephiles have to wait a whole year for more filmic gems. CineQuest’s new all-virtual younger sibling, CineJoy, is bringing features and shorts from around the world straight to the home with an all-new streaming platform built just for film festivals. There are multiple ways to experience the festival: viewers can buy a pass to live Spotlight events featuring screenings, remarks and Q&As with creators, or can buy tickets to on-demand viewings of any of the generous 75 features or 85 shorts.
