Maui Public Art Corps Presents the 2025 Hui Mo’olelo Film Festival
Saturday, February 22, 2025 and Sunday, February 23, 2025
Starts at 3:00pm

About the Event
​Join us for the unveiling of a new collection of animated film shorts that celebrate Lāhainā history, culture and sense of place.
​
The result of our most recent call to artists, these animations stem from the Hui Mo’olelo: Lāhainā program partnership amongst the County of Maui, Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House / Maui Historical Society, Maui Public Art Corps and Lahaina Restoration Foundation. Led by Kalapana Kollars & Anuhea Yagi, a new cohort of storytellers were trained and paired with intergenerational partners to audio-record memories rooted in Lāhainā.
Selected by a community panel, artists Richard O’Connor, Sasha Hercik, Jenna Lee, Syril Pecson, Zach Quemado, and Abby Worthley will bring this collection to life.
