PGC Partners with HIFF:
Stories from Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Pacific

Pacific Gateway Center is partnering with the Hawaiʻi International Film Festival (HIFF) to share opportunities for our community to experience stories from around the world. Film can connect us across languages and cultures, offering new perspectives while reflecting familiar experiences of family, identity, and belonging.  Through this partnership, PGC’s community can use the code HIFFSAVE2 to receive $2 off general admission tickets.

​

HIFF’s Spotlight on Philippines features films that bring Filipino voices and stories to the screen. Filmmakers will be in attendance for 2 Valid IDs, MANONGS, and VETERANO, giving audiences an opportunity to hear from the people behind the films.
