LUNAFEST is a moving film festival comprised of a series of short films made for and by women. The main goal is to promote women filmmakers, help raise awareness for women’s issues, and support for the Breast Cancer Fund and local non-profit organizations. This year celebrates the 40th anniversary of The University of Connecticut Women’s Center, which is also this year’s local LUNAFEST beneficiary. The Women’s Center’s mission is to educate, advocate, support and promote gender equity amongst the women of the university community. The highlighted films for LUNAFEST are filled with stories of reflection and whimsy, hope and humor, grace and perseverance. Collectively, LUNAFEST films captivate audiences, compel dialogue and arm those who participate with both the knowledge and the motivation to make a difference in their communities.
