From the original creators: "We created LUNAFEST to raise awareness about women's issues, highlight women filmmakers, bring women together in their communities, and raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund."
LUNAFEST is a national film festival that showcases short films by, for, and about women. LUNAFEST is a special evening where women (and their friends, families, partners, husbands and boyfriends) can gather to view a selection of diverse, unique and limited distribution films by independent women filmmakers and screenwriters. The films range from documentaries, to animated shorts, to dance narratives, and cover topics such as women’s health, body image, sexuality, spirituality, sports, relationships, cultural diversity, breaking cultural barriers, and the environment.
