Films Details:
Aloha ‘Āina / 47.28 mins by Adam Loften & Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee
Kanaka Maoli poet and activist Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio immerses us in the concept of aloha ‘āina — a love for and of the land embodied by her poetry, her family, and the movement at the foot of Mauna Kea — as she fights to protect the sacred mountain from the construction of a thirty-metre telescope.
Taste of the Land / 1.10.27 by Adam Loften & Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee
Since fleeing Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime, award-winning documentary filmmaker Kalyanee Mam has spent much of her life searching for a rooted connection to place. Tenderly documenting the people and landscapes of Cambodia threatened by industrialization and development, she awakens an ancestral memory of the taste of the land that lies within her.
