With a vision of uniting women through film, LUNAFEST was established in 2000 by LUNA, the makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, to simultaneously promote women filmmakers, raise awareness for women’s issues, and support worthy women’s nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada.
When Soroptimists of Hood River heard about this annual film festival we felt it was a perfect fit with our mission. Soroptimists International of Hood River is part of a worldwide organization for women in management and the professions, is a global voice for women through Awareness, Advocacy and Action.
Soroptimists International of Hood River works towards these goals by raising funds to assist organizations like Helping Hands, Next Door, Inspiration Circle at the Hood River Valley High School and provide scholarships for Women going back to school.
85 % of the funds raised at this film festival will go towards Community Service projects of Soroptimists of Hood River and the other 15% will go towards Breast Cancer Fund.
This year the LUNAFEST will be showing on January 14th and 15th at 6:30 pm at the Columbia Center for the Arts. There will be a pre-show event with Wine and appetizers at 5:30 pm.
