Join us at our Opening, Gala, and Closing Night films; mingle at the HIFF Café in the Dole Ballrooms; preview film trailers on NGN video on demand Channel 680; and vote for the Viewers’ Choice Award powered by Oceanic Time Warner Cable. Catch LVHIFF's award-winning films, and others that you missed, during our gala closing weekend.
