Film Catalog
As an ongoing commitment to build community around film, we welcome you to explore a catalog of titles that have been shown at the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival over the last 38 years. These films celebrate the drive, spirit and diversity of women, while sharing the stories and experiences of those often unheard or unseen.
Many films from the 2018 festival and earlier can be borrowed on DVD from the Madelyn Osur Film Library. Use the “Available on DVD” filter below to browse our collection.
Born for This
Determined not to become another statistic of the Black maternal health crisis, one couple chooses the rare option of hiring an experienced midwife and doula and planning to give birth at home, away from the hospital and all of its interventions. But the baby has other plans, and despite all of the team’s efforts, they end up transferring to the hospital at the eleventh hour. This is the story of the birth of one baby, with its family caught between two very different approaches to childbirth.
Born Into Brothels
This film exemplifies a once-in-a-lifetime chance the filmmaker had to change the course of the lives of the children of prostitutes in India by teaching them to make photographs. Winner for the best full length documentary at the Academy Awards in 2005.
Born Sweet
Arsenic-laced water has poisoned a 15 year old Cambodian boy who dreams of karaoke stardom.
Born to Fly
Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity takes us on an exhilarating journey with choreographer Elizabeth Streb – pushing the boundaries between action and art and daring us to join Streb and her dancers in pursuit of human flight.
Both Genders
BOTH GENDERS explores the complex and fascinating subject of gender identity and gender non-conforming identities.
Boy Interrupted
How can a young boy end his life at the tender age of 15? This film seeks to find answers about what kind of life he led. What defines this film as a remarkably unique and truth-telling achievement is the way it explores how filmmaking can create closure for its creators as well as its audience.
Boycott
When a news publisher in Arkansas, an attorney in Arizona, and a speech therapist in Texas are told they must choose between their jobs and their political beliefs, they launch legal battles that expose an attack on freedom of speech across 33 states in America.
Brats: Our Journey Home
What is it like to move twelve times before you graduate; feel like an outsider in your own country; grow up in a paradox that is idealistic and autoritarian; privileged and perilous? This film is about growing up as a military “brat”. Brilliant, thoughtful, unforgettable.
Breadmakers
A film revealing intricate social relationships that operate in a community of workers with learning disabilities making a variety of organic breads for daily delivery to shops in Edinburgh.
Break & Enter
3:00 am – a darkened house – the intruding burglar confidently collecting his take, unaware that the woman in the flannel nightie has other plans. She knocks him out with her frying pan, steals his clothes and his car, and leaves him to take her place. A delightfully silly Australian film that will make you smile.
Breakfast at Ina’s
“Breakfast Queen” Ina Pinkney has been feeding Chicago for the past 33 years. A fearless chef, businesswoman and polio survivor, Ina has decided to close the doors of her beloved breakfast eatery. “Breakfast at Ina’s” interweaves the story of Ina’s extraordinary life with the restaurant’s last days as she and her staff serve up its final meals.
