Protecting Kahoʻolawe: 50 Years of Aloha ʻāina W/ Sacred Island: Living the Dream

About

Protecting Kahoʻolawe: 50 Years of Aloha ʻĀina with Sacred Island: Living the Dream is a pairing of two Hawaiʻi short films about Kahoʻolawe, the island near Maui at the center of a long Native Hawaiian effort to protect the land. HIFF's Made in Hawaiʻi page lists the pair as one short-film entry credited to Mark Carpenter and Corbin Gregory. Synopsis, runtime, language details and rating are not printed, so check boxoffice.hiff.org before you go. This screening is part of the Hawaiʻi International Film Festival (HIFF46) neighbor island encore and is not on Oʻahu. It plays at Kahilu Theater, 67-1186 Lindsey Road, in Waimea (Kamuela) on Hawaiʻi Island, on November 8 at 3:00 PM. HIFF says tickets for most neighbor island screenings are sold through the venue's own site, kahilu.org, and its page prints no price. The program plays three times on the calendar: this Waimea showing, November 14 at 1:00 PM at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, and November 15 at noon at The Palace Theater in Hilo. Later on November 8 at Kahilu Theater, the calendar lists Making the Line at 7:30 PM. It suits viewers interested in Hawaiian history, environmental stewardship and local filmmaking.
