Examples include, but are not limited to: short documentary films, short experimental films, music videos, live song performances, live poetry reading, dance/choreography, live theater, photography series, painting or drawing, basket weaving, or any other creative project inspired by the guidelines.
Attending artists will be able to present their projects live in Kailua at our cozy, backyard movie theater.
Remote submissions will be considered for presentation (time permitting).
