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.
