"WAIKIKI: A Narrative Feature Film About Waikiki™ in Waikīkī" with Chris Kahunahana & Nicole Naone

Brown Bag Biography #759 “WAIKIKI: A Narrative Feature Film About Waikiki™ in Waikīkī” Christopher Kahunahana, writer-director of WAIKIKI, and Nicole Naone, producer of WAIKIKI WAIKIKI the Film Website: http://www.waikikithemovie.com Cosponsored by Hamilton Library Recorded October 1, 2020 In Hawai'i, the repercussions of colonialism and Statehood have left a people severed from ancestral land and culture. This has had a profound effect on Hawaiian psychology and self-image. With Waikīkī being the crown jewel of the tourism industry and the driving force behind the exploitation of Hawaiian culture, it very clearly presented itself as the setting in which to discuss these issues. This film explores the contradictions of nature and development in contemporary Hawai’i, allowing for greater understanding of the film’s subtext — how the destruction of nature impacts mental and spiritual health. As the world recognizes modern societies destruction of the planet, and begins to understand the importance of indigenous knowledge to face these challenges, WAIKIKI serves as a call to action for all people to realize that our survival is intrinsically tied to nature. Hawaiian filmmaker Christopher Kahunahana is a Sundance Institute Feature Film and Native Lab alumni. As founder of 4th World Film, he directed LĀHAINĀ NOON, which premiered at HIFF 2014 as well as a pseudo-documentary for the Smithsonian Institute’s Asian Pacific American "A Day in the Life" project.
