Retrace the history of Tiki culture through its collectible Tiki mugs and follow along the story of Fini, an obsessive Tiki mug collector, whose depiction inspired Cabali, a modernist tiki bar in Oro Valley, AZ.
Following its world premiere at the Newport Film Festival in October 2025, this documentary makes its Arizona debut in Tucson before heading to the Vero Beach Film Festival in April. The film explores the history of Tiki culture through its iconic collectible mugs, tracing how a nearly forgotten art form was revived by a passionate global community.
At the heart of the film is a local story. It follows Fini, an obsessive Tiki mug collector whose dedication inspired Cabali — a modernist speakeasy Tiki bar located in Oro Valley, AZ. The screening will be followed by a post-film conversation with members of the filmmaking team and featured voices from the film. Presented in Marroney Theatre.
