Hawaii Shorts International Film Festival (0)

영화제 시작: 18 8월 2016      영화제 끝: 23 8월 2016

Hawaii Shorts International Film Festival showcases the best short films and its filmmakers from around the world.

Last year's Hawaii Shorts was held at the Kahala Theater. The inaugural year took place at the Koko Marina 8 Theaters in Honolulu on the island of Oahu.

We believe that short form cinema and its creators should have their own premier film festival in Hawaii deserving similar recognition given to the feature film and its creators. The heart of the festival will be our quality and scope of extraordinary film programming.
