The movies are the brainchild of the artists collective Special Prescription, who will help festival goers star in their own short films on the spot. The group will provide scripts, props and a camera to complete the videos.

Special Prescription also will offer performances ranging from an "Art Ring," in which heavyweight artists will square off, to an Art Hunt, in which one lucky individual who discovers a hidden work will get to take home the original piece.

As always, there will be music, this time provided by the Piranha Brothers, and there will be a demonstration of Brazilian dance and martial arts by Capoiera Hawaii.

Also returning will be last party's hit, the glow-in-the-dark bubble room, and food will be available for purchase from Indigo, Havana Cabana, Garden of Saigon and Tea at 1024. Call 732-9575.

Martin Pahinui will be among the performers at the
free Ki Ho'alu Slack-Key Guitar Festival Sunday
at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
