This weekend there is a film festival being sponsered by the Hawaiian Cultural Foundation of New York that features the films centering around Hawaii and Hawaiian culture.

Of special interest to y'all could be 2 movies, "Velvet Dream" which is a docu-drama that is revolving around the elusive beauty if a south seas maiden as depicted in a black velvet painting. There is also a film called "Skin Stories" which traces the origins of tattoos. There are many other films involving hula, music, surf, the hawaiian language and history.
