The Hawaii International Film Festival's (HIFF) wildly popular SPRING SHOWCASE, now in its 11th year, returns for its latest edition, April 18 - 24 at the Regal Dole Cannery Stadium 18. "As many of our audiences know, the spring showcase had very humble beginnings when it was started 11 years ago, as a means to present new international and independent cinema during HIFF's off-season," explains Chuck Boller, HIFF's Executive Director. "Well, it's grown quite a bit, with this
year's showcase consisting of over 20 new features. We are proud to continue our mission in presenting a film-going alternative for our enthusiastic film audiences. HIFF does not have an off-season anymore. HIFF is year-round, thanks to the great success of the HIFF Spring Showcase!"
