Eurocinema Continues This Week

EuroCinema Hawaii focuses on bringing European films to Hawaii, but it also keeps a close eye on the state’s budding student filmmakers.

“We’ve been thrilled by the caliber of films,” explains founding board member Chris Lee, adding that EuroCinema also sponsors awards and scholarships for local students. Five titles — four from students at University of Hawaii at Manoa and one from Kaiser High School — have been nominated as this year’s Best Student Films. All nominees screen for free 10 a.m. Nov. 8 at Dole Cannery Theater.

EuroCinema continues with six more films to close out its festival. All films screen at Dole with $12 admission.
