Part of the fun of Cinequest, Silicon Valley’s film festival, always has been the party scene where fans mingle with each other — and often with filmmakers and performers — to talk about what they’ve seen at the festival. After two years of virtual festivals and a cautious return to in-person last year, Cinequest co-founder and Festival Director Halfdan Hussey is excited to bring people back together.“It’s going to be fun and different,” Hussey said, noting that people have just been drained by the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest here at home and wars overseas. “Last year, people weren’t ready to come out as much.
