ʻUluʻulu Hawaii's official state archive for moving images.

We have the good fortune of working with filmmakers and storytellers throughout the year. But it's always a real lift to see some of those films show up at Hawai‘i International Film Festival! This year there are three films on the schedule. Yes, we know most of the festival has wrapped up, and apologies as we've been engrossed in all the movie-watching! Our own presentation of "Hawaiʻi Ponoʻi 1970," of course, came from our collection. But we were able to help the filmmakers that put together the documentaries "Shaka, A Story of Aloha" and "Standing Above the Clouds" this year, as well. Both films made use of an outstanding amount of archival footage to create and enhance stories they shared about life in Hawaiʻi now. We're grateful to have been one of the archives that was able to add to the storytelling in the works by both of these teams. Thank you for seeing the importance of telling stories well and validating the work of the many archives around Hawaiʻi! And how fortuitous it is for us that HIFF is again falling during American Archives Month so that we can highlight Archival contribution to current times! Please check out the schedule at https://hiff.org/ Hawaiʻi Ponoʻi 1970 and Shaka, A Story of Aloha - have screenings left on Oʻahu! And both Shaka and Standing Above the Clouds will be screening on neighbor islands soon!

Thank you to everyone who turned out for our archival screening of "Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī 1970" today @hiffhawaii! We had such a wonderful time sharing this restored film in all its wonder and beauty. We're grateful to our wonderful panelists who joined us after the film, Myrna Kamae, DeSoto Brown and surprise guest and supporter Watters O. Martin. Thank you again to HIFF and all our wonderful supporters for everything as we continue to grow and push forward in our work! Screenings like this show us the value of our mission and help us see that others see it, too! #hawaiianlegacyfoundation #bishopmuseum #uluulu #uhwoacm #hiffhawaii2024 #hiff44 #hawaiiponoi1970 #movingimagearchive #archives #archivistlife
