Waimea Ocean Film Festival dates announced The seventh annual Waimea Ocean Film Festival will be held Jan. 2-10, 2017, in South Kohala and North Kona. The festival brings more than 60 films to the big screen each year. Most are world, U.S., Hawaii or Big Island premieres, with many filmmakers in attendance. Films fall into categories of ocean experience, such as surfing; ocean environment; and island culture and history. In addition, films of broader cultural, historic and conservation appeal are also featured, as well as generally inspirational films and stories of epic adventure. “These films shed light on who we are, give pause for thought, and share the extraordinary,” says Tania Howard, Ocean Film founder and executive director. “They infuse and inspire our thoughts.” The films will be shown at various venues in Waimea, as well as at The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, and Mauna Kea Resort in South Kohala and the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai in North Kona. In addition to films, the festival offers intimate breakfast talks, Q & A filmmaker sessions, speakers and artistic exhibits. A painting by Sophie Twigg-Smith Teururai, “Parea Day,” has been chosen as the festival’s 2017 cover art. Born and raised on Hawaii Osland, Teururai lives in Tahiti with her husband and paints scenes of the islands. She is the granddaughter of noted Hawaii artist William Twigg-Smith and an exhibit of her work will be on display during the festival. As customary each year, last year’s People’s Choice Award winner, “Unbranded,” returns to the festival with the story of Texas cowboy Ben Masters, who recruits three friends and develops a plan to adopt, train and ride a string of wild mustangs 3,000 miles from Mexico to Canada, through the heart of the American West. Festival passes, including early purchase discounts, are available online at www.waimeaoceanfilm.org. Additional details will be released in December.
