The Hawai’i International Film Festival will return to the Maui Arts & Cultural Center with six feature films, a program of six short films and a showcase of four documentaries at the end of this month.

The screenings will be from Oct. 27 to 29 in the MACC’s McCoy Studio Theater.

Tickets for the HIFF 2023 Maui Showcase are free thanks to numerous sponsors but preregistration is required, a news release said. Registration is online only at MauiArts.org.

The MACC will be collecting donations for the Maui Food Bank during the three-day period. HIFF patrons are asked to bring needed items for those impacted by the wildfires. Donation bins will be located on-site.
