Women's film festival slated for Jan. 25 at Centennial Hall

LUNAFEST, a nationwide film festival for women, will be held in Juneau this year for the first time since its inception in 2000.

The film festival, sponsored by the manufacturer of LUNA bars, is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25, at Centennial Hall. Tickets are available at the door and at Hearthside Books. Tickets cost $10 for adults and $8 for students and children.

The film festival promotes awareness on women's issues and supports women's nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada. The Juneau Pro-Choice Coalition is hosting the film festival to raise money to improve reproductive health care and education in Southeast Alaska. The coalition will donate 15 percent of the funds raised to the Breast Cancer Fund.

"We're really excited about bringing LUNAFEST to Juneau," said Lisa Eagan Lagerquist, chairwoman of the Juneau Pro-Choice Coalition. "I have family who have seen the festival and have raved about it. This is a fun way to support women's health and promote breast cancer research."
