The Big Island Film Festival will screen two award-winning films at Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu.
The short film, “Our Father,” and feature “Honeyglue” will screen at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
Acclaimed for strong acting and impactful story, “Our Father” chronicles an aging father, estranged from his family and suffering from late stage dementia. In a fleeting moment, he reveals to his son secrets that begin to heal a broken family. The film stars Michael Gross, who played “Burt” in the “Tremors” movies, and is still recognized worldwide as Michael J. Fox’s father from “Family Ties.” “Our Father” is a short film, under 30 minutes, and would be considered R-rated.
Feature film “Honeyglue” won Audience Choice Feature at last year’s Big Island Film Festival. Winner of numerous film festival awards, including Cannes World Cinema Initiative Best Feature, “Honeyglue” is a story of love that steps out of all boundaries. In the only three months they have, Morgan, a protected young woman with terminal cancer, and Jordan, a gender-defying adventurer, make every second worth more than the last. This film would be rated PG-13.
Tickets are $10 adults, $5 children; available at the door.
The 2016 Big Island Film Festival is slated May 26-30 at The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii and The Shops at Mauna Lani
