LUNAFEST

Film festival benefits the Breast Cancer Fund and Link TV

LUNAFEST® is a touring film festival that honors the talents and stories of women through a series of short films. This 90 minute program by, for and about women appears at over 140 venues throughout the U.S. and Canada between October and June. Established in 2000 by LUNA®, makers of the whole nutrition bar for women, LUNAFEST simultaneously promotes women filmmakers, raises awareness for women’s issues, and supports worthy women’s nonprofit organizations. All proceeds are donated to charity. A portion of proceeds from LUNAFEST Berkeley 2010 will go towards Link TV's women-centered programming and content, and the rest to LUNA’s primary cause partner, the Breast Cancer Fund.
