Two red carpets rolled out to host the grand 2015 Hawai`i European Cinema Awards Gala at Moana Surfrider. The black-tie film fête brought France’s great Catherine Deneuve, who flew in from Paris to accept the Christina Hassell Lifetime Achievement Award for her impressive 120-plus films. Ergo, the affair’s signature beverage, The Hunger, was a potable ode to Deneuve’s 1983 cult vampire flick with David Bowie. Gala invitees subsequently comprised a who’s-who roster among film, fashion, art, culture, business, politics and media characters. After rolling up in various high-end autos and walking the red carpet, guests mingled about Moana’s Diamond Lawn under the stars, sipping effervescent flutes of Moët & Chandon, and tasting through petite plates per refined restaurateurs. After fueling through Azure, Stage, MW and Tiki’s Grill & Bar fare, company remaining continued to celebrate at the star-studded after party long into the night. Merci beaucoup to yet another dazzling Hawai’i European Cinema. We eagerly await the 2016 soirée.
