These Guys know how to Watch Movies…
So the Maui Film Festival screens film outside after the sun sets. Here are two of their best venues.
Maui Skydome
On top of the Marriott Resort Terrace in Wailea. They screened The Unforeseen and other video/HD films in this 300 seat venue. Though difficult to detect in this photo, the Pacific Ocean is barely past the movie screen.
Celestial Cinema
The Big Kahuna. Celestial Cinema takes place under the stars on a resort golf course. It seats over 2000 people. They showed some pre-release first run theatrical films like Evan Almighty and Surf’s Up on this screen. We attended Fox Searchlight’s Waitress but Jasper melted down after 20 minutes so we split. But not before seeing a massive shooting star break up across the southern sky.
How many other festivals can you say that for?
We were very grateful to Barry and Stella Rivers for the invitation. Also, we managed to get ourselves quoted in the local newspaper. Oops!
(BTW, the soundtrack to the entire trip is available here.)
