Bosko and the Rebirth of Tiki

February 27, 2020 | 57 min

This documentary portrait of Bosko Hrnjak follows the artist through his childhood in Los Angeles, education at Art Center College of Design and his unsung, pioneering work as the first individual to revive the lost art of carving Tikis, sculpting Tiki ceramics and building the first proper home Tiki bar. Based on extensive interviews with Hrnjak and his wife and collaborator Truus de Groot, the film contains further commentary from fellow Polynesian Pop luminaries such as Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and Sven Kirsten.
