The films are free, co-sponsored by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Center for Pacific Island Studies and School of Pacific and Asian Studies. They will be screened at the Doris Duke Theatre, Honolulu Academy of Arts.

Two of the films, From Street to Sky, about New Zealand protestor and musician Tigilau Ness, and cross-cultural exploration The Poet’s Salary, from Vanuatu, are U.S. premieres.

The others are screening for the first time in Hawaiʻi—award-winning An Island Calling, from New Zealand; the raw documentary The Oasis, from Australia; Killer Whale and Crocodile, a look at carving and myths from Papua New Guinea and Canada; and tribe-to-fame bio-pic River of No Return, from Australia.
