Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Kaupulehu, the first and only Forbes Five-Star resort on Hawaii Island, will co-host to the 3rd annual Waimea Ocean Film Festival.

Beginning January 3, 2013 the Festival will take place in Waimea and along the Kona-Kohala Coast, prior to the January 8-11 program at Four Seasons.

“We’re proud to be partners again in the Waimea Ocean Film Festival,” says Robert Whitfield, regional vice president and general manager of Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. “The works and events presented within this festival are inspiring, entertaining and quite frankly a lot of fun.”

The Waimea Ocean Film Festival brings a dynamic, exciting and world-class film festival event held on Hawaii Island each January, with a combined agenda of film, breakfast talks, Q&As, receptions, art exhibits and activities. The Festival is designed to inspire, educate and engage participants in a celebration of the ocean and island culture, and increase awareness of the same.

Tickets for the 2013 festival will be available online beginning September 15, 2012.
