Homeless advocates are encouraged that the latest “Point- In-Time” count on Oʻahu shows fewer homeless families. Laura Thielen is with Partners in Care, which conducted the count. She is looking forward to the additional funding lawmakers approved for building affordable housing.
Petite Maman

Written & Directed by Céline Sciamma (Portrait of a Lady on Fire)
Starring Joséphine Sanz, Gabrielle Sanz, Nina Meurisse
French with English subtitles

Céline Sciamma continues to prove herself as one of the most accomplished and unpredictable contemporary French filmmakers with her follow up to PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, the uniquely emotional, PETITE MAMAN. Following the death of her beloved grandmother, 8-year-old Nelly accompanies her parents to her mother’s childhood home to begin the difficult process of cleaning out its contents. As Nelly explores the house and nearby woods, she is immediately drawn to a neighbor her own age building a treehouse. What follows is a tender tale of childhood grief, memory and connection.
