Celebrating its 30th year, the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival (HRFF) is one of the longest-running and most respected LGBTQ film festivals in the country.
HRFF has presented hundreds of documentaries, feature films, shorts and animations from around the world, with special consideration given to Hawaii-based filmmakers.
HRFF is a project of the Honolulu Gay and Lesbian Cultural Foundation (HGLCF), whose mission is to educate and raise awareness in the community-at-large about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) culture, arts, and lifestyle.
HGLCF also works toward instilling a sense of pride and respect among the members of the LGBT community, as well as to highlight the unique cosmopolitan ambiance of the city of Honolulu.

Follow our Social Stuff:Continuing through September, 2019, “Creating & Curating Change” is drawn from the “AIDS & Same-Gender Marriage Archive” of Tom Ramsey PhD, and David McEwan MD, with additional contributions from the collections of Judge Dan Foley, Judge Steven Levinson, Jackie Young PhD, and Heather LuskMSW.
AIDS & Same Gender Marriage often dominated politics and public discourse in Hawai’i,the nation and the world for the past 38 years, and Hawai’i was on the forefront of both issues. The two were deeply connected; the struggle against AIDS helping to energize the call for marriage rights. Both were full of emotion, hope, politics, research, religion, tragedy and freedom. Worldwide, the struggles continue!
Special group gatherings are very welcome and FREE. Contact Leilani Dawson at ltdawson@hawaii.edu
Dr. David McEwan and Professor Tom Ramsey have established a permanent fund at the UH Foundation to support the “AIDS & Same-Gender Marriage Archive”. Their goals include creating a full catalog with extensive cross-references; and eventually complete digitization, connectivity to similar archives, and open access internationally.
