On Friday, January 29, 2010, the jury for the Festival International du Film Documentaire Oceanien awarded “Noho Hewa” with a Prix Special Du Jury in Papeete, Tahiti. By bringing “Noho Hewa” to the FIFO, programmers allowed the film to reach its first international festival audience outside of Hawaii, with people from Tahiti and the rest of the Pacific, including Aotearoa, Papua New Guinea and Australia, as well as France and Canada. It is a tremendous honor for the jury to award this film, and it was accepted on behalf of all Hawaiians who resist the destruction of Hawaii Nei. http://www.spasifikmag.com/2feb10hawaiifilmfestivalrecievesspecialjuryprizeattahitifilmfestival/

UPDATE:
Mahalo nui loa to Merata Mita, Russell Harrison, Kate Cherrington, Kelly Martin and every single person at Te Wananga who made showing “Noho Hewa” in their country such a rewarding experience! Aotearoa is gorgeous and so are our Maori cousins who, by the way, Iʻm pretty sure were born singing in 3-part harmony!
The San Francisco Film Society is now the Non-Profit Fiscal Sponsor for “Noho Hewa.” Mahalo to Michele Turnure-Salleo for her help in setting this up and to Kimberly Hancock for her encouragement.
On May 9th, “Noho Hewa” was screened at Kamehameha Schools Kapalama campus for students in the Scholar’s Program and their parents. It was an honor to be able to show the film that day and talk-story with these families. I believe that’s the best way to see the film, with ohana, so that there can be a lively kukakuka afterwards. Mahalo nui to Jasmine Stein for arranging the screening and to everyone in the Scholar’s Program for doing such important work on behalf of Hawaiians.
Mahalo nui to Clyde Namuo at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs for some much needed support and to Bernadette and Chanetelle for taking care of the administrative process.
Aloha and mahalo to Kev and Ev at the Forward Foundation for facilitating the OHA grant.
Also, mahalo nui to Kimberly Hancock and her ohana for the kind support from Silicon Valley Community Foundation. That fabulous grant was facilitated by the San Francisco Film Society. Mahalo to Michele at SFFS.
Mahalo nui to Kamakana Aquino and the folks who put together the Blanche Pope Waimanalo screening. I met an Aunty there I have not seen since I as 12… my grandfather’s niece… what a pleasure. And the talk-story after the film was more proof of our pule for Ea.
And mahalo nui loa to Lei and the entire Laimana Ohana– Lei ma have twice now arranged screenings for windward folks, and Kaneohe is a place I called home for many years and is still home to much of my ohana. And Thursday’s screening was extra special because Dean Saranilliio and Sharon Heijin Lee were seeing “Noho Hewa” for the first time along with other folks that night. And, well, these two souls were among a small number of people who made sure this film got to be more than a work in progress.
