LUNAFEST Returns to SU March 8
SALISBURY, MD---From an all-female mariachi band, to a garage co-owned by and catering to women, to a teen who works to overcome religious stereotypes to achieve her dream of being a cheerleader, LUNAFEST spotlights films made by women with intelligent, funny and thought-provoking themes.
The national film festival, sponsored by LUNA, makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, comes to 黑料网 Sunday, March 8. Screenings of the short movies begin at 3 p.m. in the Wicomico Room of the Guerrieri University Center. Films include:
