National Film Festival
LUNAFEST, the fundraising film festival dedicated to promoting awareness about women’s issues, highlighting women filmmakers, and bringing women together in their communities, is holding its premiere event at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in the Children’s Theatre on Sunday, March 9th, 2008. This event is sponsored by Luna Moms Club Nashville Powered by Stroller Strides.
This unique film festival will highlight women as leaders in society, illustrated through nine films by women filmmakers. The films range from animated shorts to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women’s health, body image, spirituality, relationships, cultural diversity, and breaking barriers.
All proceeds from the LUNAFEST premiere will go to The Kaylen Foundation and the National Breast Cancer Fund. Thus far, LUNAFEST, which is sponsored by LUNA, the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, has raised over $170,000 for the Breast Cancer Fund and over $250,000 for other women and family nonprofits.
