The Moondance International Film Festival is an American independent annual film festival that takes place in the fall. Founded in 1999,[1] it has usually been held in Boulder, Colorado, and occasionally in Los Angeles and New York City.[2][3][4][5]
The festival honors filmmakers, writers and composers who actively increase awareness, provide multiple viewpoints, address complex social issues, and strengthen ties between international audiences. Some of its initial intentions were to give a cinematic voice to nonviolent conflict resolution; women and their stories, particularly those told from their perspective or with a female sensitivity; and inspirational and educational stories about environmental issues.[6] According to the festival's website, the festival and festival entrants are "independent, mostly uncensored (except for gratuitous violence), totally unfettered, often irreverent, and definitely not beholden to any special interests. We select films, written works and music with these criteria: a unique story, well-told."[7]
