LUNAFEST, fundraising film festival featuring seven short films by and about women, also virtual on November 5. 

WHAT:            LUNAFEST®, the fundraising film festival dedicated to championing women filmmakers and bringing women together in their communities hosted by Soroptimist International of Phoenix returns to the Valley for its seventh consecutive year is taking place in person at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 30 as well as virtually at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5.  

For the past 21 years, LUNAFEST, which is created and funded by LUNA®, The Whole Nutrition Bar, has celebrated a powerful and diverse set of women filmmakers and given their short films a national platform. Their first event was a small but hopeful screening in California. Since then, they’ve celebrated and shared the work of more than 170 women filmmakers, raising over $6.5 million for local women’s causes. Now their unique platform is showcased at over 200 events each season creating impact through dollars raised and awareness built toward some of the most pressing issues facing society today.

All proceeds from LUNAFEST will benefit local nonprofit, Soroptimist International of Phoenix, whose mission is to empower women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. And Chicken & Egg Pictures, a nonprofit organization that supports women nonfiction filmmakers whose artful and innovative storytelling catalyzes social change.
