As an avid moviegoer, one of my favorite events of the year is LUNAFEST, a film festival of short films by, for and about women. This eclectic group of films –whether they make you laugh or cry — will make you think long and hard about yourself and about your sisters all around the world.
LUNAFEST will take place in 150 cities this year, and I suggest you get on their site right now and buy tickets to the event near you. Proceeds benefit the Breast Cancer Fund, an organization which focuses on prevention and to which I will be donating all the money I used to contribute to Susan G. Komen, as well as local non-profits. In San Diego, the event was hosted by Boobs on the Move, a grassroots effort to empower people to stop breast cancer through active prevention and generosity.
I attended the San Diego event last week with my great friend, Elin Stebbins Waldal, author of Tornado Warning: A Memoir of Teen Dating Violence and Its Effect on a Woman’s Life. We were blown away by every film.
Here’s a little taste.
Beautiful – thanks for sharing about this festival – will try to catch it another date!
