Mauna Kea, an awe inspiring dormant Hawaiian volcano culminating at 14,000 feet, boasts one of the best
vantage points on Earth for astronomy. Today, it is home to the largest collection of telescopes in the
World. Seven years in the making, the film "Hawaiian Starlight" (2008, 43 mn) reveals the magic of the place
and its connection to the Cosmos through striking time-lapse cinematography scored with beautiful music composed
by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori. Daytime and nighttime skyscapes and landscapes are mixed
with sequences of stunning true-color images of the Universe captured by the Canada-France-Hawaii
Telescope atop Mauna Kea.
