What a lovely evening! From sipping Traditional Medicinals teas to chatting with community-oriented women (and men) to watching hysterical and uplifting women-made films - the evening was delightful!
Just what is the Luna Fest?
"Filled with stories of reflection and whimsy, hope and humor, grace and perseverance, LUNAFEST films are renowned for celebrating the talents and stories of women. Our films include many off the traditional “festival circuit.” 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.
LUNAFEST’s films have won industry awards and audience accolades, and the films selected for 2009-10 LUNAFEST season share this brilliance. From quirky animation to touching documentaries, the 10 selected films are incredibly diverse in both style and subject matter, united by a common thread of exceptional storytelling by…for…about women..."

Our local Luna Fest, sponsored by Community Action Partnership and Traditional Medicinals, benefits our local women's shelter.

What a fabulous evening! From delicious catered snacks to a motley crew of people to watch and some really intriguing, thought provoking and uplifting films, to a great take home goody bag the event was something I want to go to every year from now on. All the participating companies were ones I want to support and the luna fest was a wonderfully selfish way to do just that.:)
