Join us for the inaugural HIFILM Industry Conference, a groundbreaking three-day immersive event taking place during HIFF’s 45th Annual Fall Festival presented by Halekulani in October 2025.

The HIFILM Industry Conference is designed to offer a comprehensive and dynamic experience for all attendees. The conference is rigorous and wide-ranging in its approach, tackling pressing industry topics such as locating a global audience focused on Asian/Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pasifika stories, while also offering rare opportunities to engage with visionary creators at the top of their game who will present this year’s keynotes – a Producer-of-the-Year and a Director-of-the-Year respectively.

Your HIFILM Industry Conference Pass grants you full access to all three days of the inaugural HIFILM Industry Conference, including panels, workshops, networking events, and special gatherings with industry leaders. Enjoy complimentary food and beverages throughout the conference, beginning with an opening night reception featuring elevated pūpū by Chef Keaka Lee of Kapa Hale. Passes are extremely limited, so secure yours early.
