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.
Burning Angel Dust
A mother secretly plans to introduce her little girl to a life-altering coming-of-age ritual.
But I Was A Girl: The Story of Freida Belinfante
Interviews and archival footage explore the life of the lesbian conductor.
Butterfly Girl
At first glance, it is not obvious that Abbie Evans lives with a life-threatening skin disease. She is a typical teenager: moody, rebellious, irreverent, and is also strikingly beautiful. But her life is the antithesis of normal.
By Invitation Only
Most people have heard of Mardi Gras, but few know that within the festival also exists a very private world of high-society balls. Originated by former Confederate slave-owners, these remain rooted in the celebration of white supremacist values..Class and culture intersect in this documentary made “from the inside.”
Cailleach
Morag, 86, shares her unique love of life out on the edge, on Scotland’s Western Isles.
Caliefah
Caliefah is an entrepreneur and a single mother of three young kids. Growing up in Compton, she began her business first out of necessity, fueled by her resourcefulness. Upon discovering that personal products like soap weren’t available through the food stamp program, she saw an opportunity to provide for her family.
Calling the Ghosts
In the spring of 1992, during the Bosnian War, two Bosnian Muslim women were taken from their homes and placed in the Omarska detention camp, where they were repeatedly raped, tortured and brutalized. Unlike many others, these women managed to survive the experience. Upon release, they fought for justice and women’s rights in the global arena, lobbying the UN Tribunal to classify rape as a war crime. This documentary chronicles their harrowing experience.
Can’t Stop Now: A Choreographer Validates the Older Dancer
Featuring six remarkable “over 40” dancers and stunning choreography, this film is a joyful, inspiring confirmation that age can enhance our gifts.
Canary of the Ocean
A beguiling documentary about the fabled coral reefs which are collapsing. Like the proverbial canary in the coal mine, the coral is warning us that the oceans are in trouble. This film is a celebration of coral’s beauty and a prayer for our planet.
Carmen
Inspired by true events, Carmen is a charming story set in a village in the Mediterranean island Malta. Carmen (Natascha McElhone) has looked after her brother, the priest at the local church, since she was sixteen years old. Now almost fifty, she is suddenly left to start a new life. Facing her past, Carmen brings color to the lives of the villagers in this compelling story about a woman finding her voice.
