The Pacific Rim Film Festival started in 1988 as one of the host sites for the East-West Center Film Tour. This tour brought films from the Hawaii International Film Festival to mainland audiences, providing an opportunity for new audiences to see feature films from Asia and the South Pacific. The East-West Center Film Tour no longer exists, but locally the Pacific Rim Film Festival carries on the tradition of selecting and screening films that reflect the theme "When Strangers Meet", in the interest of promoting cross-cultural communication and understanding. Following the model of the Hawaii International Film Festival, all screenings and after-film discussions are show ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE and open to the general public. This is made possible by sponsorship from the George Ow Family, UC Santa Cruz, Donald Richards, Metro Santa Cruz, Watsonville JACL, Staff of Life, Aloha Island Grille, and many others.
The Pacific Rim Film Festival is administered by a steering committee of community members who work in the belief that art can dispel fear and prejudice born of ignorance -- and can promote harmony among the human family. We welcome your participation. Contact us: Pacific Rim Film Festival, P.O. Box 8220, Santa Cruz, CA 95061.
