The Hawai‘i International Film Festival Spring Showcase Presented by Halekulani
Mar 21 - Mar 28
All Day
The HIFF Spring Showcase Presented by Halekulani returns to Kahala Mall for an exhibition of over 20 new feature films, many coming straight from Sundance.
With an exciting mix of award-winning local films and international premieres, the Spring Showcase will open with Māori director Lee Tamahori’s return to Aotearoa New Zealand in THE CONVERT, a historical epic starring Guy Pearce and Te Kohe Tuhaka that serves as a fascinating perspective of western colonialism and a tremendous feat of reclamation.
Last Fall, local fans were thrilled to meet Korean superstar Don Lee (TRAIN TO BUSAN, Marvel’s THE ETERNALS), who attended HIFF as the Halekulani Maverick Honoree. For the Spring Showcase closing night film, HIFF will debut the North American premiere of his latest upcoming blockbuster, THE ROUNDUP: PUNISHMENT, just after the film’s world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.
