Offerings at
the academy

Now that the Louis Vuitton Hawaii International Film Festival is coming to an end, are you wondering where you can watch those kind of offerings?

Fiji-made film wins at festival "The Land Has Eyes," the first feature film set and shot on the Fiji islands and produced and directed by Jeannette Paulson Hereniko and husband Vilsoni Hereniko, respectively, won Best Dramatic Feature at Toronto's imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival.
