HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
The 2006 Louis Vuitton Hawai'i International Film Festival has opened with
an exciting and expansive selection of films, including six by ACM student
filmmakers and six by ACM-sponsored Chinese students from Shanghai
University in our international Student Media Art (SMART) Exchange program.
This is a tremendous opportunity for ACM students to see how film production

will join us on campus for some of our activities. We should fill the seats

Festival runs Nov. 1 - 4 at the Kamakakuokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies

Monday, Oct. 23. Here's the calendar:

Inhabit Sacred Spaces, Historic Places and Contested Sites." Moderated by
