About New Moon

On May 25th, 2024 NEW Moon Fest presented a selection of competitive short films by women from around the world. 

NEW Moon Fest - Nantucket Empowering Women showcased the official 2024 selection at the historic Siasconset Casino in celebration of women filmmakers and storytellers. 12 short films from 6 different countries were screened to honor the role of women in the making of cinema both in front of and behind the camera.


By casting light upon the Wild Woman archetype and her role in storytelling, NEW Moon Fest celebrates the unfettered and unfiltered spirit of women. The Wild Woman is maternal, she is capable of fighting and she is deeply connected to the Earth. She encourages us to go beyond boundaries and to express one’s true self. NEW Moon Fest welcomes films that explore this discourse.
 

Like the new moon, short films by women are powerful even if they are not often seen. NEW Moon Fest - Nantucket Empowering Women strives to showcase these films to broaden their reach and visibility and to promote impactful storytelling inspired and crafted by women.

​

A portion of proceeds raised from NEW Moon Fest go to support and empower women/individuals served at A Safe Place.
