Pacific Showcase at the 42nd Hawaiʻi International Film Festival
The premiere cinematic event in the Pacific is back! Now in its 42nd year, HIFF is the festival of record for emerging works from the Pacific Rim, a destination of award winning films from major film festivals around the world, and an incubator for Hawai‘i-based and Native Hawaiian works.
This year's festival will be held on O'ahu November 3-13, Neighbor Islands November 17-20, and online November 3-27. Check out hiff.org for all the details.
PIC is a proud sponsor of HIFF's Pacific Showcase and the Leanne K. Ferrer Trailblazer Award. This year's films include:
The application period for PIC's Media Fund opens November 7th.
The Media Fund is PIC's longest standing funding initiative and provides funds for single non-fiction projects of half an hour or an hour in length about the indigenous Pacific Islander experience for two critical phases of production: Production and Post-production. Projects applying to the Media Fund must be intended for national public television broadcast, and therefore must be able to enter into a production agreement — this is not your typical grant.
