HIFF serves as a forum for international cinema in the Asia-Pacific region, identifying new and emerging talent and supporting career development and collaborations through educational programs. Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, the festival prioritizes works from Asia by Asian filmmakers, Pacific perspectives from Pacific Islanders, and Hawai‘i films presented with cultural accuracy, connecting audiences to a global cinema community. The festival operates within the Movies and Sound Recording industry and draws a broad audience of film enthusiasts from Hawaii and beyond. HIFF began in 1981 as a project of the East-West Center, expanding from seven films and about 5,000 attendees to a premier Pacific festival that hosts premieres, seminars, and industry events. In April 2026, HIFF announced the departure of its Executive Director after a nine-year tenure.
