THE WORLD UNSEEN
Hawaii Premiere! The stars of "Water" and "Monsoon Wedding" among others lead the way in this vibrant, colorful universal story of forbidden love, set against the backdrop of a conventional Indian community in 1950's South Africa, that is dealing with a system that divides white from black and women from men and makes it nearly impossible for unexpected love to survive?

THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH
Hawaii Premiere! If there was a cure for cancer created by a physician (Dr. Max Gershon) that Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer called "the most eminent genius in medical history" that used organic foods, juicing, detoxification and natural supplements to heal itself, your doctors would tell you, wouldn't they? This passionately produced documentary explores this nearly 100 year old therapy through the eyes of a teenager on a quest for the truth. Unrated. 93 min.

TWO LOVERS
Hawaii Premiere! Special Big Screen Encore!
Academy Award winner Gwyneth Paltrow and Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix star alongside Vinessa Shaw in this powerful romantic drama, set in Brooklyn, about a bachelor torn between the family friend his parents wish he would marry and his beautiful but volatile new neighbor that he can't imagine life without.

There's something grand about the film's sincerity and the intensity and the of its emotions" gushed the NY Times. "An antidote to the virus of hip" added Peter Travers of "Rolling Stone". Rated R. 110 min.
