Event details

Here at the Alliance, we’re all about celebrating creativity and diversity. That’s why we’re hosting our 3rd annual LunaFest event to show our support for women in the filmmaking industry.

LunaFest celebrates a powerful and diverse set of women filmmakers and helps expose their short films to a national platform. Since 2001, LunaFest has empowered and shared the work of more than 175 women filmmakers giving them the opportunity to tell their stories and opening the door for filmmakers who might not otherwise be given the chance to show their art.
