LIVE FROM THE LAWN AT HISAM ON FIRST FRIDAY OCTOBER 5TH
Join us under the stars as we celebrate First Friday on October 5th from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Hawai‘i State Art Museum. Live from the Lawn features a special show for film fans with Movies at the Museum, a preview of the Hawai‘i International Film Festival that will showcase short films, many from Hawai‘i filmmakers. You can also get a sneak peek of select trailers of international films from the HIFF Fall Festival on October 18-28, 2007. After watching the films, don’t forget to see our art exhibition, Enriched by Diversity: The Art of Hawai‘i, on display in the museum. If you’re hungry, you can grab a plate of gourmet grinds to go from the “ASAP Express” at Downtown @ the HiSAM, the new restaurant on the ground floor of the museum. Do you prefer to dine? Dinner will be served in the restaurant on a first come, first served basis.
These short films will be shown at HiSAM. First Impressions – A first date can be a scary prospect, especially when you want to make the right first impression. Matalasi – Marie Matalasi travels across an ocean to surprise her estranged, Samoan father in the hopes that they can build a relationship. Film Noir – Created in-camera, this mixed media animated adventure combines live action, found objects with photo cut-outs weaved into a dark story of romance and psychological tension. Death To The Tinman – This dark and romantic tale recounts how lumberjack Bill became the Tinman and lost his heart, his life, and his lover but never gave up. I Met the Walrus – In 1969,14-year-old Beatle fan Jerry Levitan, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an audio-taped interview during his "bed-in" to promote peace. 38 years later, Levitan produced this film. Rites of Courage – A story about identity and culture and the strength required to hold onto that as a boy goes through the ritual of becoming a man with the agonising tattooing of his lower body. Banana – An American born Chinese wakes up in a Beijing apartment, not knowing how he got there. What later ensues is a trek through the streets of China's capital.
This free event is presented by the Friends of the Hawai‘i State Art Museum, the LEF Foundation, the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, and the Hawai‘i International Film Festival.
