Lunafest - March 2005 and 2006
In March of 2005 and 2006, Womentum hosted LUNAFEST, the first-of-its-kind film festival in Wyoming where the movies are made by, for, and about women in celebration of International Women’s Day.
On March 6, 2005, Womentum hosted their first awareness raising community event in Jackson: LUNAFEST, and were overwhelmed by the success of the event – eager viewers overflowed the Teton Theater, and people were turned away at the door. First Lady of Wyoming Nancy Freudenthal was the keynote speaker at the event. She spoke regarding the status of women in Wyoming, particularly in regards to the Wyoming Self Sufficiency Standard that was released in February 2005.
Womentum again hosted LunaFest on March 5, 2006 at the Mainstage Theater in Jackson. Jackson was buzzing with anticipation about this event and it proved itself by attracting approximately 300 people to a matinee and evening show. In attendance were Governor Dave Freudenthal and his wife Nancy, who kicked off the seven o’clock show by speaking about being a woman in Wyoming, and presented the first ever Atta Girl awards on behalf of The Equipoise Fund.
