A MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR DAVID Y. IGE AND LT. GOVERNOR SHAN S.

Sun. Moon. Stars. Earth. Sea. & Sky. Since Day One, the Inspiration, Wisdom and Beauty of Maui Has Embraced the Maui Film Festival. We Are What We Are Because of Where We Are. E Komo Mai! Maui Film Festival. A Praise Genius Project!
Changing Culture Is Challenging. We’re In. What About You?
2016
Several years ago, I received an oval granite touchstone engraved with this question: "What Would Buddha Do?"
That query stood out no matter the room this stone occupied, whether in our home or in the Festival office — and believe me it can be more than a little unnerving to see it on the bedroom night table when you're about to make love, or on the window sill of the bathroom as you're about to take care of business, or inside the freezer next to the Ben & Jerry's, or on top of the television while CNN is whizzing around the globe covering humanity's latest inhumanity or triumph — this simple piece of granite has reminded me every day to take action personally and professionally to support the highest aspirations in all of us.
The stone suggests timeless, timely, constant and yet ever changing answers that seem all the more important in light of recent world events. Feel free to substitute any enlightened being of your choice, past or present, for the Buddha. For me, the value of the stone is not in its reference to Buddha but in the implications of its question. Am I willing to contemplate the challenge it poses to my core values and to my decisions at work? I have often said that, at the end of the day, the Maui Film Festival is about turning darkness into light. From the first moment that light shines on any Festival screen, we have one primary mission — to turn the "reel" world into a way of being in the “real” world that respects the integrity and beauty of both the natural order and the realm of human interaction. For this reason, the granite cornerstone of this Festival's programming philosophy can be summarized in one phrase: lifeaffirming storytelling.
Put another way, inspired by the wisdom engraved the Festival's 'Pet Rock' as noted above, the 17th annual Maui Film Festival will again celebrate entertainment that enlightens.
In the film industry, which is part of global media culture, all too often the lowest common denominator of our collective wisdom (or lack thereof) not only passes for entertainment but also generates record breaking box office numbers. Every year we are challenged to identify the films that aspire higher. I am pleased to report that, in celebration of its 17th ‘Birthday/Birthyear’, the Festival staff has put together another ‘jewel box’ festival that truly sparkles and shines.
With the hard work behind us, we prepare now for the pure pleasure of five days of great filmmaking by talented filmmakers, an AList of honorees worthy of a walk down the red carpet at the Academy Awards®, Spirit Awards or Toronto, Sundance and Telluride film festivals and — Maui being the birthplace and home of Pacific Rim Cuisine — exceptional unforgettable culinary celebrations to boot!
On behalf of the entire Maui Film Festival ‘ohana (family) — and with a special nod to the festival’s übertalented codirectors, Stella Rivers and Wendy and Ben Goodman — Our ‘Ohana Has Built an Experience to Fall in Love With! Welcome to the 2016 Maui FIlm Festival and Enjoy the Ride!

The Maui Film Festival takes great pride in presenting the
2016 Rainmaker Award to
Michael B. Jordan
in honor of his eclectic choices and charismatic performances which encourage us all to expand our definition of what it means to be human.
Michael B. Jordan was last seen in Ryan Coogler’s highly acclaimed film “Creed”, starring alongside Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson. In 2015, Jordan also starred in a new version of "Fantastic Four,” playing the role of 'Johnny Storm' aka 'The Human Torch', opposite Miles Teller, Jamie Bell, and Kate Mara. He has previously starred in “Chronicle,” “That Awkward Moment,” opposite Zac Efron and Miles Teller and the George Lucas produced film “Redtails.” Jordan successfully took on his first major leading film role when he starred as 'Oscar Grant' in Ryan Coodler’s "Fruitvale Station.” The cast included Octavia Spencer and Melonie Diaz, and was produced by Forest Whitaker. It premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival where it re ceived the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award for U.S. Dramatic Film. “Fruitvale Station” has garnered many awards including Best First Feature at the 2014 Independent
Spirit Awards, Outstanding Independent Motion Picture at the 2014 NAACP Image Awards and the 2014 Stanley Kramer Award from the Producer's Guild of America. The 2013 New York Film Critics Circle honored Fruitvale Station with Best First Film and the picture was also chosen as one of the Top Ten Films at the 2013 National Board of Review Awards, where Michael took home the award for Break through Actor. Michael also won the 2013 Gotham Award for Breakthrough Actor and was nominated for an Inde pendent Spirit Award for Best Lead Actor. Jordan has also starred in three of the most critically celebrated television dramas of the past decade. First, Jordan played the hardshelled but softhearted 'Wallace' in HBO's dramatic hit series "The Wire". He then went on to star as quarterback 'Vince Howard' on "Friday Night Light,” before playing recovered alcoholic, 'Alex', on Parenthood.”

Directed By: Lara Popyack Executive Producer: Urijah Faber CoProducer: Jordan Dozzi Producers: Mike Madden, Lara Popyack & Jaimal Yogis Screenwriter: Jaimal Yogis Cinematographer: Roberto Vezzone Editor: Jordan Dozzi Cast: Jaimal Yogis
During TowIn Fever, three Brazilians challenged the world’s biggest waves and wrote a whole new chapter in surfing history. Danilo Cuoto, Marcio Freire and Yuri Soledade, who all migrated to Hawai’i in the 90’s in search of perfect waves took the bigwave surfers’ challenge a notch higher, resolving to paddle out to Jaws, while refusing to use support vehicles to assist with towins or rescues. What they accomplished changed the sport forever. This is their story. 75min Unrated
Whether you live for ocean and love it beyond words or are too freaked out about sharks to ever get wet, Jaimal Yogis’ story — from jungle communes to zen monasteries to the vast Pacific and beyond — is the most deeply beautiful and wise cinematic immersion in the mysterious pull and healing powers of the ocean ever seen on the Big Screen. 60min Unrated

Surfing in the Bay Area is not the sunny, bikinibabe lifestyle that is portrayed in the media. It is cold, foggy, heavy and in the red triangle — the natural habitat for Great White Sharks — and on many days at Ocean Beach and Mavericks there will often be only one woman in the water. This doc is a three year time frame look at the evolution of Women’s Big Wave Surfing and it rocks and rolls. Can you say "cojones grande' amigo”? These women can. 68min Unrated

Changing the world was never easy. These filmmakers have jumped all in to passionately explore finding joy in life — in this case through dance, keeping alive the flames of creativity from which genuine human connection comes from, understanding what at its core are ways to live in harmony with ourselves, our communities and the planet we share, risking everything to spread cosmic consciousness to one hundred million people worldwide one LSD trip at a time, and dedicating their lives to raise awareness of what technology run amuck is doing to impact life of marine mammals in the oceans of our blue planet are explored in this quintet of brilliant, original, well produced and directed independent documentaries.
These filmmakers — on Maui from around the world and all of them with films honored with a Celestial Cinema Big Screen Hawai’i Premiere — share a treasure trove of production stories and insights to reveal the real deal about producing and directing films where The Forces of Nature always have a costarring role and in which many of the best athletes on Earth — as well as just plain wonderful folks — stretch the limits of human endeavor while pulling off formerly unimaginable feats of freedom, insight, spiritual growth and, most of all, lives fueled by The Big Woosh!
