"As HIFF Life Members and 30 year attendees, we can’t think of life without HIFF!!! We have seen thousands of films from around the world and made countless friends in the process. HIFF is not only an internationally acclaimed film festival, it’s a major mainstay of the local and neighbor islands arts community. Film in Hawaii will also be an essential element in Hawaii’s economic recovery and provide education and jobs for our local residents."

"I don’t go to many movies during the year except for the ones which the HIFF presents since there is so much diversity in terms of countries from which they are made and the wide range of subject matter. I have fond memories of films being presented at LCC and at the Hawaii Theatre, and a long time ago to introduce Korean films. I also enjoy locally made films."

“It’s an opportunity to see a global view of life which I may never see in commercial screenings, and to get to know the filmmakers and their movies with Q&As. It’s a chance to see my HIFF ‘ohana, HIFF staff and volunteers to fellow movie lovers who I see only at these venues. Some highlights: Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement introducing WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, Simon Yam talk about the connection with his character in SPARROW. DEPARTURES winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Film and Roger Ebert’s nod to HIFF.”
