International entries are greatly welcomed. The long-term vision of the Moondance International Film Festival is to preserve and revitalize our intangible heritage, cultivate creative diversity, develop an intercultural dialogue, and stimulate this creative resource by women. Our mission is to present a vibrant and growing collection of films and writings by, for and about women that document the complexity and depth of women's experiences that will become widely accessible within the world film industry and to the public, and will encourage and inspire other women to write and to make films. Equity creates new standards which accommodate and nurture differences. Equity fosters the individual voice, investing women with confidence in their own authority.
Equity unleashes the creative potential.
We see the equal treatment of all women and the equal respect for all responses they explore as essential to their and our ultimate goals. The Moondance International Film Festival competition is by and for women. Moondance provides a forum in which those women can have the opportunity for their work to be viewed and accepted by the powers that be, within the international film community. Our work on reaching out toward women film-makers and women writers everywhere in the world is primary and ongoing. Women writers and film-makers from all six continents, and from a wide diversity of ethnic and linguistic groups are an integral part of our mission and goals.
