On Monday, October 15, during the Hawaii International Film Festival (HIFF), the Vilcek Foundation hosted a reception on the Garden Terrace in the Halekulani Hotel. The event, which celebrated the talented filmmakers of the New American Filmmakers (NAF) program, was attended by the six NAF delegates, HIFF board members and staff, filmmakers, actors, festival sponsors, and members of local press. Here are some photos of the NAF delegates and local talent.
