Flanary, a lifelong hula dancer, said while producing the film, she was surprised at how many people were practicing hula in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first started filming in Tokyo, there were estimates of 400,000\u2013500,000 people dancing hula in Japan,\u201d Flanary said. \u201cToday, there are between 1\u20132 million people dancing hula in Japan and the numbers and interest only seems to continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a filmmaker, one of the most interesting things that I shot was a woman who teaches workshops on how to do exercises to work on perfecting a great smile for dancing hula. I had never really thought about what goes into a smile before in such detail but it was fascinating to find that one of the cultural challenges for Japanese hula students is working on a natural smile that is not necessarily something that is very common in everyday life in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Previous accolades<\/h2>\n<p>Flanary had a whirlwind 2019 and early 2020. <em>Tokyo Hula<\/em> was selected for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yidff.jp\/\">Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival<\/a> in October 2019. However, due to Typhoon Hagibis, all flights were canceled and Flanary conducted Q and A sessions virtually.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the film was featured in the <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> International Film Festival in November 2019 and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifotahiti.com\/fifo-2019-en\/\">Festival of International Documentary Films from Oceania<\/a> (<abbr>FIFO<\/abbr>) in Tahiti in February 2020. However, due to COVID-19, Flanary never imagined her trip to <abbr>FIFO<\/abbr> was going to be her last in-person screening on the documentary for a while.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we all were given stay at home orders and the world began experiencing lockdowns, all film festivals that the film had been accepted into were postponed\u2014or in some cases canceled,\u201d Flanary said. \u201cIt was really heartbreaking but I am still hopeful that there will be opportunities and new ways to share the film with people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><abbr>ACM<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Chair <strong>Christine Acham<\/strong> said \u201cThe <abbr>ACM<\/abbr> faculty and staff were there to see <em>Tokyo Hula<\/em> premiere at the <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> International Film Festival at two sold out screenings. Therefore, we were very excited, but not surprised to learn of Professor Flanary\u2019s acceptance into the Doc Edge, Made in <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> and Tokyo Lift-Off Film Festivals. Lisette has put in tremendous effort to see her project to fruition and it is wonderful that festivals worldwide are acknowledging her talent. Lisette\u2019s accomplishments are a great reflection on <abbr>ACM<\/abbr>; she is an inspiration to her students.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a
