Still Maui's Best Entertainment Value
NEW '90-DAY' PASS FOR 2008 CANDLELIGHT CAFE & CINEMA SCREENINGS
4 Films for $40 per Film - Use Your 4 Admissions However You Choose...
You Enjoying 4 Different FIlms.
You & a Friend Enjoying Two Films Each. You & 3 Friends All Coming to the Same Film.
$12 Single Tickets Also Available for Each Show
WE KNOW THAT NOBODY LIKES A PRICE INCREASE. AND WE WISH IT WASN'T NECESSARY EITHER. BUT... After serious consideration of what it will take to insure the continuation of the Maui Film Festival's weekly CandleLight Cafe & Cinema series in 2008 and beyond, two things became clear. The first is that we needed to adjust for the increased cost of doing business since the Festival's inception in 1996 with our first weekly film series price increase in nearly 12 years. And the second is our faith in you that what the Maui Film Festival's efforts add to the life of the community is sufficiently meaningful to all of you to keep coming to our weekly 'Window on the World'.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
AND TRULY HOPE TO SEE ALL OF YOU OFTEN IN 2008.
Barry & Stella Rivers, Ginny Kiick, Nancy Meola, Rich Tully, Tony & Chris Leone, Laura Seaton
and the entire Maui FIlm Festival 'Ohana.

SAAWARIYA
The first full-fledged Bollywood musical from India coproduced and distributed by a major Hollywood studio is a timeless story of two young, star-crossed lovers that is guaranteed to be one of the most "visually enchanting, cloyingly sweet and all at once utterly chaste and insanely erotic" films of the year raved the NY Times. We couldn't agree more. In Hindi with English subtitles. Rated PG. 140 min.

IRA & ABBY
A sweet, hilarious, and slightly subversive romantic comedy, starring Jennifer Westfeldt and Chris Messina, about a brilliant guy and a free spirited woman who fall instantly in love and get married within hours. Along the way, this crowd pleaser examines marriage, monogamy, and whether "I do" is the only path to lifelong love and happiness. "The best Manhattan love story since "When Harry Met Sally" raved the Seattle Post. Rated R. 101 min.

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
All you need is love -of great music and visually spectacular cinema - to be thrilled by what Roger Ebert raved was " a bold, beautiful, visually enchanting " cinematic magic carpet ride using the songs of The Beatles, and starring Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturges and Bono (among others) to create a story that seamlessly moves from the dockyards of Liverpool and the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village to the very real revolution in consciousness that was the late 60's and early 70's. "Brilliant! Transcendent! Exhilarating! Generates a singular kind of magic you've never experienced before" gushed the Miami Herald. Rated PG-13. 131 min.
