Where Stories
Take Root
The first sign of life to emerge from the destruction of lava flow, Kīpuka is a symbol of resilience, regeneration, and radical hope—and the theme of this year’s Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival.

With fresh, bold stories and thought-provoking films, this year’s festival continues the tradition of spotlighting often unheard voices.
