Film festival to celebrate women in film
The LunaFest film festival will be holding its first annual Arizona film festival on campus tonight.
The festival, which is sponsored by nutrition bar maker Luna Bars, will showcase films made by women, for women or about women and will benefit the UA Women’s Studies Advisory Council and the Breast Cancer Fund, said Alison Greene, senior program coordinator of women’s studies.
There will be eight short films shown and the winner from a recent local film contest will be revealed.
The festival will donate all of the proceeds from ticket sales fifteen percent will go to the Breast Cancer Fund and the remaining 85 percent will benefit WOSAC, a support organization for the women’s studies department, Greene said.
The festival will be held at 7 tonight at the Gallagher Theatre in the Student Union Memorial Center. Tickets are $5 for students with a CatCard and $10 for general admission.
Tickets can be purchased at the Gallagher Theatre Box Office. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the festival will end around 9:30 p.m.
