Waimea Ocean Film Festival opens Monday The 2017 Waimea Ocean Film Festival gets underway Monday with a lineup of films, special guests, intimate coffee talks, Q&As, exhibits, receptions and morning activities continuing through Jan. 10. The annual event opens 8:15 a.m. Monday with breakfast talks and films playing simultaneously Monday through Thursday multiple venues in Waimea (Kahilu Theatre, HPA Gates, Parker Theatre) and The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, in South Kohala.
