Native-Hawaiian-made films
Just alerting readers of the Oiwi Film Festival opening today at The Honolulu Academy of Arts Doris Duke Theatre. It features the collective voices of Native Hawaiian filmmakers and runs through May 26. Tickets are affordable at $8 with a dollar off for students, seniors and military. If you’re a member of the Academy of Arts, five bucks gets you in. The programmers grouped the films into several themes:
Na alakai o Hawaii nei — Those who lead us in Hawaii Ka malama ana i ka aina — Caring for our land Ka pilina o ka poe Hawaii i ke kai — Hawaiians’ relationship to the sea Ka ea Hawaii —Sovereignty Na moolelo pokole — Short stories Na hula o Hawaii — Hula, dance of Hawaii Ka hoohanohano ana i ko kakou mau kupuna — Honoring our ancestorsDo check the schedule for which films are showing when. There are 19 short subjects and features. I found a comprehensive news-feature article and film festival schedule by reporter Gary C.W. Chun on the following link:
