Please be advised that the My Partner screening is completely sold out. We’ve just learned that there are Maui cast and crew family members who are flying in for today’s showing, and we’d like to accommodate their seating if possible. Fortunately, there will be another screening(s) of the film at the Hawaii International Film Festival in October, and HRFF be able to provide complementary tickets to anyone who volunteers to give up their seat today if needed.
The 2023 Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival includes in-person screenings of 5 feature films exploring the diversity of the LGBTQ-māhū-aikāne experience. Join us at the Doris Duke Theatre at the Honolulu Museum of Art September 8-10.
