The traveling film festival LUNAFEST is making a stop at CSUSM on Thursday, March 1 at 6 p.m.

LUNAFEST is a short-film festival with works made by, about and for women.

Established in 2000, LUNAFEST is dedicated to sharing stories of women through film and spreading those connections through the traveling festival.

According to the LUNAFEST website, the festival has spread to more than 150 screenings in North America with over ninety filmmakers featured so far. Since its foundation, the festival has raised nearly $1.2 million.

At this year’s festival, nine films will be presented, showing the diversities of community. The shorts will illustrate different genres and content, all of which are representative of women.

The festival will donate all proceeds and ticket sales from this event to various charities, including the Breast Cancer Fund and the ASI Women’s Center.

Tickets are available at the ASI Corporate Office and at the door the night of the festival. Ticket prices range from $5 for students, $10 for general admission and $15 for VIP tickets.
