HIFf's inaugural 'Ōpio Fest

In April of 2023, HIFF’s inaugural ‘Ōpio Fest brought together young filmmakers from schools across Hawai’i and Alaska to celebrate their best original short films at a public theatrical screening and offered a dedicated weekend of youth focused events, filmmaking panels, premiere screenings, and live Q&A sessions with special guests, including Eric Bauza and Auli’i Cravalho. Mahalo to the hundreds of community members who attended ‘Ōpio Fest to support the next generation of storytellers.   
 
Stay tuned for the next call for submissions to the 2nd edition of HIFF ‘Ōpio Fest in the Spring of 2025 (dates TBA). Relive the festivities through photos, recap videos, and the official ‘Ōpio Fest Program at hiff.org/opio-fest-home
