On Saturday, April 27, we will host our third Hui Mo‘olelo Film Festival from 3-5 PM at ProArts Playhouse in Kihei. The public is invited to this premiere of a new collection of animated film shorts that celebrate Maui history, culture and sense of place. The result of our most recent call to artists, the works stem from our Hui Mo'olelo program partnership with the County of Maui and Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House / Maui Historical Society.Led by kumu Leilehua Yuen, a cohort of 21 storytellers were trained, then paired with intergenerational partners to audio-record memories rooted in special places throughout Maui County. Selected by a community panel, artists Richard O'Connor (Brooklyn, NY) and Sasha Hercik (Kihei, HI) have worked with our team for months to bring a collection of NEW stories to life. The event will be emceed by Sissy Lake-Farm of Hale Hōʻikeʻike, beginning promptly at 3 PM. Free to the public, audience members will experience the premiere of 7 individual animated talk-story films, each between 3 to 5 minutes in length, as well as an offering by Maui Public Art Youth Task Force leader Kekaulaiwi Farm. Audience members and story participants will be invited to share their reflections for a Q&A to conclude the event. Special surprise performance included!
