Opening Reception + Film: Luther: Never Too Much

The festival kicks off with a dinner reception in the Luce Pavilion with live music and a cash bar at 6pm followed by the Hawai‘i premiere of Luther: Never Too Much in the Doris Duke Theatre at 7:30pm. Doors open for film-only ticket holders at 7:15pm. Film-only tickets available here. 

Luther Vandross was one of the most successful R&B artists of his generation and a personal favorite of Honolulu African American Film Festival founding committee member Sharon Yarbrough. We dedicate this evening to Queen Sharon and her tireless—and fabulous—dedication to the festival and the community. Come dressed to impress the late fashionista as we celebrate and dance to the smooth sounds of Luther in her honor.
