FESTIVALS: Part of what makes Austin so vibrant are the various groups of film-lovers who make up our community. Reel Women is proud to be a part of a community of people working together, playing together and making films. Since 1999 Reel Women has sponsored or presented a yearly film festival dedicated to the works of established and emerging local and international women filmmakers: Proceeds of LUNAFEST, presented by ClifBar/LunaBar, benefited The Breast Cancer Fund, a non-profit organization that works to uncover and eliminate the preventable causes of breast cancer, particularly those in the environment and to support the development of safer, more effective methods of treatment.
SPECIAL EVENTS: In 2003 Reel Women co-sponsored screenings of the feature film Morvern Callar (with the Austin Film Festival) in February, the documentary film Hansel Mieth: Vagabond Photographer by Nancy Schiesari (with the Austin Film Society) in May and the documentary film Shelter by Anne Lewis (as a fundraiser for Every Woman's Self Defense) in June. Reel Women will be screening Real Women Have Curves for Morning Star Rising. "Reel Women Presents: A Movie Hoot," held in May 2002 at Club de Ville, united the vibrant Austin music and film communities for an evening of "music from the movies" performed by local bands Fivehead, Tosca, Lowery 66 and singer-songwriters Jessica Shepherd and Dana Davis. Reel Women provided women filmmakers and their films to Austin Community College for their "Reel Issues" series in March 2002.
