Almas del Pacífico

Bridging the Cook Islands and French Polynesia, this pair of films sets the Polynesian vision of nature—sacred, potent, and ancestral—against the growing environmental threats of the twenty-first century. In Our Atoll Speaks, Spanish-born filmmaker and Hawai‘i resident Gemma Cubero del Barrio delivers a poetic vision of the remote atoll of Pukapuka in the Cook Islands and its residents as they face the challenges of climate change. In Te Puna Ora: The Source of Life, winner of the Demain award at FIFO 2025, Tahitian filmmaker Virginie Tetoofa intimately follows three women in their efforts to protect the island of Mo’orea’s public lands and resources from unsustainable development, while evoking the mythology of the goddess Hina through hauntingly beautiful interludes.DocumentaryPT1H59MNR2026-11-05
