Lunafest part 2: A special variety of short films for 2010=2011

Algonquin college Pembroke,Ontario hosted Lunafest 2010-2011 on Tuesday March 8th International Women's day. This post is the second half of my comments on these films.
Thembi's Diary is very poignant as it is 19 year old Thembi recording an audio diary of her struggle to live with AIDS. The "voice" is Thembi's however the "visual" part of the film is animated.
Mother of Many is also animated. It shows various cultural ways a midwife delivers a baby. Perhaps the most poignant movie is "Irene" aboui a 92 year old grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer's but struggles to keep her independence.   It was filmed n Glasgow UK.
Miracle Lady is another animated short filmed in Jerusalem with subtitles. It is a tale of two women who spend their lives waiting.
The last short film" Love on the line" is animated- two star crossed lovers communicate by  telegraph.

I enjoy the variety of short films i n this Luna fest. It  brings different perspectives to the way women think  All the stories have universal appeal and  all make the audience think

 Looking forward to next year.Plus we were all given Luanbars to sample!
