Kapaemahu

Short Film Kapaemahu

Kapaemahu reveals the healing power of four mysterious stones on Waikiki Beach — and the legendary dual male and female spirits within them. The first Hawai'ian film to be shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short, it did not make it to the final round of nominations. But Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu's film is nevertheless a beautiful and groundbreaking illustration of a Hawai'ian third-gender legend in a short, 8-minute format.
