About LUNAFEST
Established in 2000 by the creators of Luna Bar, LUNAFEST connects women, their stories and their causes through film. This traveling film festival spotlights the work of a diverse array of talented women filmmakers with intelligent, funny and thought-provoking themes.
This season’s program of nine selected films will compel discussion, make you laugh, tug at your heartstrings and motivate you to make a difference in your community. Incredibly diverse in style and content, LUNAFEST is united by a common thread of exceptional storytelling - by, for and about women.

BRA-Va!
Decorating bras for a cause
This LUNAFEST event will feature bras decorated by folks like you! Individuals and groups can submit a decorated bra to go on display at both LUNAFEST screenings. Attendees will vote on the bras by adding change/dollars to a corresponding jar (so bring cash!), and the best bras will be auctioned off during intermission. Proceeds from voting and auction will be donated to the Breast Cancer Fund.
Want to decorate a bra? Contact Tara Stollenmaier at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . All bra sumbissions must be delivered to Earth Fare by Wednesday, October 31st. If you would like to decorate a bra but need to borrow some craft materials, just let Tara know. We will schedule a bra-decorating workshop with Elkland Art Center a week or two before the event.

Grantee Spotlight
OASIS
(Grantee partner since 2008)
Founded in 1978, OASIS, Inc. (Opposing Abuse with Services, Information, and Shelter) is dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault in Watauga County, North Carolina. OASIS works toward this mission in three ways:
- Providing comprehensive emergency services, transitional support, and a safe environment for survivors as they explore options for a violence-free life.
- Providing education and skill development to encourage families in our community to create and maintain healthy peer and intimate partner relationships that are based on respect and equality.
- Helping to create a community that supports survivors through advocacy and education.
OASIS works very closely with the local SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) and DART (Domestic Assault Response Team), facilitating monthly meetings with community collaborators from law enforcement, hospitals, Appalachian State University and other helping agencies to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.
