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.
Racist Trees
Racial tensions are reignited as a historically Black neighborhood in Palm Springs fights to remove trees that many believe were originally planted as a totem of segregation. This intimate, sobering, and at times humorous investigation uncovers an even darker history that few would equate with the City’s progressive image.
Rafea: Solar Mama
A strong-minded Bedouin woman struggles against tradition and society as she seeks to become Jordan’s first Solar Engineer.
Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins
RAISE HELL: THE LIFE & TIMES OF MOLLY IVINS tells the story of media firebrand Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on the Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it.
Raising Renee
Artist Beverly McIver was enjoying a skyrocketing career when a casual—yet life‐changing—promise made to her mother years before came due. Filmed over 6 years by Oscar nominees Jeanne Jordan and Steven Ascher, RAISING RENEE explores deep themes of family, race, class, disability and art through the interplay of painting, cinema and everyday life.
Ready
Naomi has known all her life she will succumb to the same fate that has struck her family for generations. She is determined not to make a fool of herself as her ancestors have trying to avoid the curse.
Reclaim
RECLAIM tells the story of young Honor as he follows in the footsteps of his older brother Hanalei in learning the Hawaiian tradition of hula. The brothers are proud of their role in reclaiming Hawaiian heritage, through dance as well as the meaningful power of language and custom.
Reclamation: The Rise at Standing Rock
In 2016, at Standing Rock, the youth of many tribes unite the Native Nations for the first time in 150 years and rise up in spiritual solidarity against the 3.8 billion dollar Dakota Access Oil Pipeline (DAPL). These young Native leaders known as ‘water protectors’ join together to honor their destiny as they pray and protect Mother Earth by leading a peaceful movement of resistance which awakens the world.
Red Fever
Red Fever follows Cree co-director Neil Diamond on his journey to find out why the world is so fascinated with the stereotypical imagery of Native people that is all over pop culture.
