BIFF is a movie-lover’s nirvana, with back-to-back screenings of short and feature-length films during the day, evening movies in two different locations, awards brunch, a screenwriting workshop with Ron Osborn (“Duckman,” “The West Wing,” “Moonlighting”), a pitch workshop, celebrity receptions for an actor and a filmmaker, and “Best of the Fest” concert with audience choice short and feature films.

Mauna Lani Resort will offer accommodations at two ocean front luxury resorts, The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows and The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, along with unparalleled shopping at The Shops at Mauna Lani.
