LUNAFEST 2023 Trailer

The 2023 season of LUNAFEST® features seven short films with a total running time of 90 minutes. 

We’re proud to amplify the inspiring short films by this year’s selection of women and gender nonconforming directors. Our featured filmmakers are from all walks of life and range from poets to conservationists, activists, and educators. These stories remind us that when we come together, we all move forward.

We invite you to #PlayAPart.
