Tampa Lunafest® Film Festival 2019
Sat Sep 14, 1:00 PM - Sat Sep 14, 3:30 PM

This is the second year SI Tampa has partnered with LUNA®, makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, to bring the traveling short film festival to Tampa. The LUNAFEST® Fundraising Film Festival event will be held at The Portico Café, 1001 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33602. Film screenings will begin at 1:00 PM and light refreshments will be served.

Kit Crawford, Clif Bar Owner & Co Chief Visionary Officer stated “It’s about giving women the opportunity to tell their stories and opening the door for filmmakers who might not otherwise be given the chance to show their art.” Founded in 2000, LUNAFEST® was the first all-women travelling film festival. Today, there are screenings in more than 175 cities across the nation where the works of talented women filmmakers are showcased.

“We are excited to once again bring the LUNAFEST® Fundraising Film Festival to Tampa,” said Trish Wild, SI Tampa 2019 LUNAFEST® Event Chair. “This event is a great opportunity for our community to celebrate women in film and as leaders in society. It fits with SI Tampa’s mission to improve the lives of women and girls through programs leading to social and economic empowerment.”
