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.

With the hope that their moving work might help you cope with isolation, we want to present a unique and inspiring perspective from two Canadian artists who not only accept but embrace solitude.

When thirtysomethings Nick and Téa experience a breakup, they’re thrust into the stages of survival. With any loss, first comes denial, especially when you’ve been blindsided by your boo.

After Nick and Téa fail to be rejuvenated by their respective one night stands, they let depression wash right over them. Their well-intentioned friends concoct perfect cyber-versions of Nick and Téa, forcing them into the unnerving world of online dating.
