New Zealand native Andrew Adamson started
his career as a computer animator and joined
Pacific Data Images (PDI) in 1991. PDI would
merge with Dreamworks SKG and the SHREK
series would set his career on a new path.
Directing mega-hits SHREK and SHREK 2
gave him enough credentials to migrate over
to live action film directing, steering THE
CHRONICLES OF NARNIA series by writing,
producing and directing the first two films.
After being won over by Lloyd Jones' novel
'Mister Pip', he began chasing the film rights,
quickly joining forces with producer Robin
Scholes. MR. PIP is set during the 1990s
civil war on Bougainville Island, in Papua
New Guinea — where Adamson lived as a
teenager.
In celebration of a century of film in Hawaii,
HIFF presents the classic film BLUE HAWAII on
the big screen at Waikiki beach. The Sunset
On The Beach screening is free and open to
the public. Get prepared to sing-along to this
timeless Elvis Presley film!
busy catching up with his buddies, making up
with his girlfriend and, of course, singing.
Following the screening will be a moderated
conversation with Adamson, where he
will discuss the making of MR PIP and his
illustrious career in computer animation and as
director of some of the biggest box-office hits
of all-time.
Chad Gates (Elvis Presley) just wants to sing,
chase girls and have fun, but someone wants
to stop the party! In BLUE HAWAII, that
someone is Chad’s mom (Angela Lansbury),
who wants her ex-soldier son to come work in
the family pineapple business. But Chad is too

Shanghai, China. One of the most prestigious
culinary competitions is under way. Julia
(Michelle Yeoh) hopes that her husband
David (a former chef) enters the contest and
rediscovers his love for cooking. But, he'll have
to compete against a young prodigy named
Mark who wins round after round against
some of the toughest competitors in Asia.
Julia notices something peculiar about Mark,
slowly realizing that the young prodigy and her
husband resemble each other.
FINAL RECIPE, from acclaimed director Gina
Kim (NEVER FOREVER), lushly photographs the
brilliantly mouthwatering culinary concoctions.
The performances, especially the luminous
Michelle Yeoh and K-pop star Henry Lau
(Mark), truly shine in this delectable Pan-Asian
melodrama.
The protagonist of Hayao Miyazaki’s THE
WIND RISES is inspired by two characters that
existed in real life: Jiro Horikoshi, visionary
designer of the famed Zero fighter; and Tatsuo
Hori, author of the novel bearing the film's
title. Jiro lives a simple, rural life. In his
fantasy world, he regularly meets Caproni,
an Italian aeronautical engineer who designs
the most amazing flying machines. With
Caproni's spirited guidance, Jiro studies hard
and manages to enter Tokyo's university. His
intelligence and dedication will lead him to
become an elite engineer, and creator of the
state-of-the-art fighter bomber put into service
just as Japan was contemplating war with
the US.
TV veteran John Wells (ER, THE WEST WING,
SHAMELESS, SOUTHLAND) has adapted
Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play to the
big screen in his feature directorial debut.
It is a look at the lives of the strong-willed
women of the Weston family, whose paths
have diverged until a family crisis brings them
back to the Oklahoma house in which they
grew up, and to the dysfunctional woman
who raised them. With an all-star cast that
includes Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan
McGregor and Chris Cooper, AUGUST: OSAGE
COUNTY is a dark, hilarious and deeply
touching story of these strong-willed women,
who fight, scream, connive, insult and
exorcise their demons on each other, because
in the end, what’s family for?
Jonny Kealoha is the charismatic host of a
struggling Polynesian lu`au show in Waikiki.
To everyone's surprise, including his own, he is
appointed the successor to a high school boy's
hula class when his former Kumu Hula (master
hula teacher) passes away. He becomes as
much a student as a teacher through the
demands of leading the boys to a significant
cultural event, and rediscovers the sanctity of
the culture he had previously abandoned.
debut that captures the everyday life of
pursuing their dreams and their legacy. HIFF
is honored to close the festival with this
homecoming screening.

Taiwanese tradition that mandates him to marry

On Oct. 11, 1991, Anita Hill sent shock waves
through the nation as she sat before the Senate
Judiciary Committee intrepidly testifying to the
lewd behavior of Supreme Court nominee Clarence
Thomas. With Thomas playing the race card
and a bevy of male senators lobbing ideological
bombs, Hill’s hearing became a charade of justice.
Yet her audacity to speak truth detonated a
national debate about sexual harassment that
revolutionized gender politics.
Portraying both Sugii’s work (imaginative, artisanal,
lyrical) and personality, Masato Ishioka presents
an in-depth study of the importance of one of
the founding fathers of anime. Colleagues and
disciples offer their visions of the maestro, and the
film’s final result talks to us both about the artist’s
incredibly rich universe and the evolution of the
anime industry throughout the years.

Lincoln Costain (James Garner), a mid-19th century
Texan cowboy, is “shanghaied” and placed aboard
a ship bound for Hawaii. After he jumps ship off the
coast of Kauai, a 12-year-old-boy rescues him from
drowning. While Lincoln waits for a way to return
home, he decides to help the boy's mother's failing
potato plantation by turning it into a cattle ranch. But
first, he must outwit an unscrupulous businessman,
outfight an evil witch doctor and turn the “easygoing” islanders into the ridin' and ropin' cowpokes.
Satyajit Ray's exquisite story of a woman's
artistic and romantic yearning takes place in late
19th century India, in the home of a workaholic
newspaper editor and his lonely wife, Charulata.
When her husband's poet cousin comes to
stay with them, Charulata finds herself both
creatively inspired and dangerously drawn to
him. CHARULATA is a delicate tale of a marriage
in jeopardy and a woman taking the first steps
toward establishing her own voice. This remastered
version commemorates the film’s 50th anniversary.

An oddball tale of adolescence, but one that is
also hilarious and charming. Maruyama is a typical
14-year-old boy, with an overactive imagination,
who tirelessly attempts to give himself fellatio. But,
he’s not the only strange one as the film explores
the lives of the other residents in his building, with
their own “unique” challenges. This film has been
one of the year's memorable discoveries, combining a rich visual style with a sharp sense of humor.

Rithy Panh’s incredibly moving story of life under
the Khmer Rouge starts with the premise of a
missing photo. It is a picture that does not exist, an
image that details the horrific murders perpetrated
by the regime during their four-year tyranny. Panh
chooses to tell his story through the use of some
old documentary footage, much of it propaganda
filmed by the ruling party, and clay figures
representing the characters in this horrific tale.

This tragicomedy is a self-ironic portrait of a young
man who drops out of university and ends up wandering the streets of the city he lives: Berlin. The
film deals with the desire to participate in life and
the difficulty to find one's place. Black and white,
tragic and funny, OH BOY! has been compared to
Kafka-esque “A Catcher in the Rye” as directed by
Woody Allen.
From the director of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA,
ONE CHANCE is the remarkable true story of Paul
Potts, a shy, bullied shop assistant by day and an
amateur opera singer by night. Paul became an

Determined to see his newborn, Mak comes back
from war to his hometown, where rumors abound
that his wife Nak died and is spending her afterlife
creeping everyone out. Banjong Pisanthanakun
(director of 2004's SHUTTER) deftly blends horror,
anachronistic comedy and romance into a slapstickfueled chronicle of love after death based on the
famous NAN NAK legend. The film, unexpectedly,
became the biggest grossing Thai film of all time.
In 1952, Philomena (a pregnant teen) was sent
to a convent and her newborn son whisked away
to adoption in the States. For the next 50 years,
Philomena (in an awards-worthy performance by
Dame Judi Dench) continues to search for her long
lost son. Then she meets Martin, a world-weary
journalist (Steve Coogan) as cynical as Philomena
is trusting. Together they set off on a journey to find
her son in the Deep South of America.

Gloria, played by Paulina García (Berlinale Best
Actress winner) is 58 and lonely. To make up for
the emptiness, she fills her days with activities and
at night seeks love at singles parties. This fragile
happiness changes the day she meets Rodolfo, a
recently separated 65 year old. But their relationship suffers from Rodolfo's unhealthy dependence
on his children and his ex-wife, and finally sends
her crashing into the cruel reality of the world.
Making a film about a radio station doesn't sound
like the most visually compelling of projects. How
many takes do you need of a reader's voice correctly modulated? Wandering the endless corridors
of Radio France (France’s NPR), director Nicolas
Philibert shows the entire spectrum of programmes,
concerts, reportage, interviews, and phone-in chat
shows, showcasing the diligent creators behind the
medium of radio.

Nelson Mandela's life story is told in this adaptation of the South African leader's autobiography
that details his early life, education, 27-year imprisonment, and eventual presidency and rebuilding of
the previously segregated country. William Nicholson provides the script, with Idris Elba (LUTHER,
PACIFIC RIM, THE WIRE) as the anti-Apartheid
revolutionary turned politician plus Naomie Harris
(SKYFALL) as his wife, Winnie Mandela.
Didier and Elise's relationship is stormy and
passionate; it's love at first sight. Didier plays the
banjo in a bluegrass band and idolizes America.
Elise owns her own tattoo parlor. Before long,
their two lives are closely intertwined. Elise sings
in Didier's band and they soon have a daughter
together, little Maybelle. The film accompanies
Elise and Didier on their rollercoaster ride through
life; through days filled with music and passion.

1532 A.D., Cévennes. A horse dealer by the name
of Michael Kohlhaas leads a happy family life.
When a lord treats him unjustly, he raises an army
and puts the country to fire and sword in order
to have his rights restored. With a commanding
performance by Mads Mikkelsen (TV’s HANNIBAL,
THE HUNT), this film is an adaptation of the novella
by German author Heinrich von Kleist, based on a
16th century story of Hans Kohlhaas.

This tragicomedy is a self-ironic portrait of a young
man who drops out of university and ends up wandering the streets of the city he lives: Berlin. The
film deals with the desire to participate in life and
the difficulty to find one's place. Black and white,
tragic and funny, OH BOY! has been compared to
Kafka-esque “A Catcher in the Rye” as directed by
Woody Allen.

From the director of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA,
ONE CHANCE is the remarkable and inspirational
true story of Paul Potts, a shy, bullied shop assistant by day and an amateur opera singer by night.
Paul became an instant YouTube phenomenon after
being chosen by Simon Cowell for “Britain’s Got
Talent.” Wowing audiences worldwide with his
phenomenal voice, Paul went on to win “Britain’s
Got Talent” and the hearts of millions.
In 1952, Philomena (a pregnant teen) was sent
to a convent and her newborn son whisked away
to adoption in the States. For the next 50 years,
Philomena (in an awards-worthy performance by
Dame Judi Dench) continues to search for her long
lost son. Then she meets Martin, a world-weary
journalist (Steve Coogan) as cynical as Philomena
is trusting. Together they set off on a journey to find
her son in the Deep South of America.

The early ‘80s during the Norwegian Oil
Boom: Enormous oil deposits are discovered in
the North Sea. Governments plan to tap into this
oil by building a pipeline. Petter, a professional
diver, takes on the world's most dangerous mission.
Suddenly, a tragic accident changes everything,
and Petter is sent on a perilous journey where
he unravels factions waging a power struggle.
PIONEER continues the trend of Norwegian
conspiracy thrillers like HEADHUNTERS.
Matteo (Luca Barbareschi; THE INTERNATIONAL)
makes a sizable income exporting (often tainted)
food throughout the world. Of course, any time big
money is at stake, nefarious plots await those who
would benefit. When three associates of Matteo
are murdered, he turns to local chef Jiazhen
(Jingchu Zhang, RUSH HOUR 3) to help protect
him. But will she want to keep protecting him if
she knows the darker side of his business? Star
Luca Barbareschi will be in attendance for a special
post-screening Q&A.

The world's first movie about kids in global cinema;
It's a passionate, poetic portrait of the adventures
of childhood — its surrealism, loneliness, fun,
destructiveness and hostility — as seen through
53 great films from 25 countries, ranging from THE
RED BALLOON to E.T.: THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL.
As such, A STORY OF CHILDREN AND FILM is an
eye opener, a landmark film and a celebration of
both childhood and the movies.

Summertime. A cruising spot for men, tucked away
on the shores of a lake. Franck falls in love with
Michel. An attractive, potent and lethally dangerous man. Part beguiling love story, part noir murder
mystery, STRANGER BY THE LAKE depicts an idyllic
mini-universe where murderer and silent witness
have to abide by a set of peculiar codes and rituals.
A provocative and accomplished effort by one of
France’s most overlooked auteurs.

One of the greatest restaurants in the world is
closing and an eclectic mix of international patrons
have arrived in Catalonia for the final dinner service
in this delicious ensemble comedy. As the staff prepare and serve an audacious tasting menu, a pair
of former lovers who made their reservation a year
ago (before splitting up) reunite for this once-in-alifetime meal. Can their romance be rekindled? Will
the brilliant chef be able to pull off a perfect finale?
Genevieve, 17, lives with her widowed mother, who
owns an umbrella shop. She and Guy, a 20-yearold auto mechanic, are secretly in love and want
to marry. Shortly after, Guy is drafted to serve in
the war. While Guy is away they drift apart, and
Genevieve must choose whether to accept an offer
of marriage from a wealthy merchant. Winner of
the Palme d'Or at Cannes ‘64, Demy’s film was
groundbreaking as one of the first musicals in
which every line was sung.

Spring, 2012: The Executive Committee of the
Sierra Club began to consider which candidate
to endorse in the upcoming mayoral election. It
quickly became apparent that the election would
determine the fate of rail, which most environmentalists in Hawaii steadfastly oppose. It was a
moment of truth. A hot button topic, this film will
surely spark controversy in the ongoing debate of
Honolulu’s future.
Stan Brock was inspired to organize volunteer popup clinics in remote regions of the world, an effort
he called Remote Area Medical. Volunteer doctors,
nurses and support workers collaborated to deliver
basic medical, dental and eye care to hundreds
who would otherwise have none. That was three
decades ago. Little did he know that today 60
percent of his organization's efforts would focus,
not on faraway locales, but on his adopted country,
the United States of America.

murder mystery, STRANGER BY THE LAKE depicts
an idyllic mini-universe where murderer and silent

and rituals. A provocative and accomplished effort
by one of France’s most overlooked auteurs.

he is caught committing a crime, he is sent to the
juvenile reformatory. Upon his grandfather’s passing, Ji-gu is reunited with his mother — whom he

THE EVENT LAYOUT
(i've ordered my tickets, hoW
do i get physical copies in my
hand?)
(What does the festival look
like?)
You will need a printed ticket to enter the
theater, and you have several options on
how to get them.
The lines for each film may be the first
thing you see when you come to an event
(especially if there’s a mob). The crowd is
separated into nine (or so) lines, right outside
the theater lobby.
Will Call: If you've placed an order for your
tickets and purchased them over the phone,
you will have received a confirmation from
us your ticket orders will be waiting for you
at the box office.
(Where does all of this
happen?)
Print over the Internet: For the ultimate
in convenience, you can buy your tickets
online and print them from home. These
tickets (you'll recognize them by the bar
code and film title) are valid for admission
to the theater.
The Regal Dole Cannery Stadium 18 serves
as the main hub of the Hawaii International
Film Festival. Most screenings will take
place there with some other screenings,
workshops and events taking place at
satellite venues. Here is a list of all the HIFF
venues this year:
Buy tickets in person: We will have a box
office facility on site. Walk in with a plan
for what films you want to watch and walk
out with tickets in your hand. The box office
is at the Guest Services Counter at Dole

Understanding the lines is critical to navigating HIFF. Three movies line up at a time. For
each movie, there are three lines (3 movies
x 3 lines = 9 lines). Each line will indicate
which movie is queuing up and which ticket
type should be standing in that line. (Check
your ticket type carefully).
Additionally, for shows that “sell out,” we
form a “rush line” that offers a last chance
opportunity to watch the film.
HIFF volunteers will be stationed at several
places around the floor to assist you. We'll
have people at the information desk, at the
rear of the lines, at the lobby door and at the
theater doors.
