Peacebuilding Update: April 2018

4/8/2018

0 Comments

 
For the fifth year in a row, the Minnesota Peacebuilding Leadership Institute is sponsoring LUNAFEST: Minneapolis.  On Wednesday April 25, 2018 at the Riverview Theater, we’ll screen nine internationally curated short films by, for, about women. Since 2000, LUNAFEST has showcased the work of talented women directors from all over the world. This year’s lineup of films include a film about a 10 year-old girl training to become a professional boxer, a film tribute to the highest-paid silent film director at Universal Studios in 1916, and a film about a Pakistani woman who helps middle school girls in Silicon Valley learn to design video games.
 
In a historic moment where we’re reckoning with the film industry’s history of discrimination, it’s more important than ever that films like these that hold up the stories of women and people of color are made and shown widely. Thanks to #MeToo and #TimesUp, there’s a push for equity in film that echoes our need for equity in all aspects of our lives.

As a nonprofit organization committed to equity, these films are an important part of achieving our vision to Make Minnesota the Peacebuilding Power State For All. The funds raised from LUNAFEST: Minneapolis go toward Peacebuilding’s scholarships that help make our trainings accessible to all by offsetting the cost of tuition. We hope you join us for an evening of Peacebuilding in our community.
