LAND OF 'LOST'

The Hawaii International Film Festival this year takes on network television with a nod to the popular fantasy-drama series "Lost," whose sixth and final season launches next year. To celebrate the show, which is filmed in Hawai'i, HIFF is declaring Saturday its "Lost" day, and is hosting a number of "Lost" seminars at the Dole Cannery theaters (for seminar info and tickets, visit hiff.org), capping off the day with the main event: "An Evening with Damon Lindelhof and Carlton Cuse." Lindelhof and Cuse are the creative team behind the show; they will hold a symposium at the Royal Hawaiian Theatre (Level 4), along with members of the cast.

OMG! IT'S ANOTHER 'TWILIGHT' THING!
