Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival

HRFF is one of the longest-running and most respected queer film festivals in the country, celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2024. It is especially well known as a bridge between Hawai'i and the Pacific, Asia, and the USA. HRFF is an IMDB-qualified festival and a member of the Asia Pacific Queer Film Festival Alliance.

The festival uses the power of film to raise awareness, engage, energize, and instill a sense of pride and respect in Hawaiʻiʻs thriving lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgender, mahu and aikane community. The festival is presented annually in honor of Hawaii LGBT pioneer Adam Baran.

This year we will present a full program of films in person at the beautiful Doris Duke Theater, which is located in the Honolulu Museum of Art, together with a selection of films available online for our popular worldwide virtual screenings.

We're looking forward to welcoming you to the warm sands of Hawai'i. Aloha!
