Monday, February 25th, SAR High School is hosting the second annual Filmfest -  in partnership with the nationally recognized LUNAFEST® - attended by hundreds of community members last year.   
The SAR Film Fest is committed to  
developing empathy  
and mutual understanding in our communities. SAR is partnering with LUNAFEST® because of our shared belief that by seeing and discussing exceptional film-making, we will achieve more open and honest communication. A micro-grant from The Jewish Education Project is helping to partially  
fund the festival.
LUNAFEST® films highlight women as leaders in society, illustrated through
short films by women filmmakers. The films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women's health, body image, relationships, cultural diversity and breaking barriers. The post-screening discussion will examine connections between the films.
Open to the public.
