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.
Seed: A Love Story
In 1940 Berlin, Lilly Wurst, Aryan hausfrau who has a picture of the Fuhrer on the wall along side a medal for German motherhood, falls in love with a vivacious female member of the Jewish underground. Archival footage, love letters, and photos are fantastic, but nothing equals the sight of 82-year-old Lilly talking about the one true love of her life.
Seeking Asian Female
Asian fetish… or true love? An aging American man meets a young Chinese woman online.
Seized
Balancing the absurdity of small-town politics with the gravity of a constitutional crisis, the small town of Marion, Kansas is thrust into the international spotlight after a police raid on the Marion County Record and the death of its 98-year-old co-owner.
Self-Portrait with Cows Coming Home
Richard Avedon wrote of fellow photographer Sylvia Plachy,”She makes me laugh and she breaks my heart.” This is a rare film portrait of Ms. Plachy, who is, ironically, camera-shy.
Sell/Buy/Date
Executive Produced by Meryl Streep, Sell/Buy/Date is a hybrid doc/narrative following Tony winning performer and comedian Sarah Jones. As a mixed-race Black woman in America, Sarah, alongside the multicultural characters she’s known for, explores her own personal relationship to one of the most misunderstood issues in our current culture: the sex industry.
Sermons of Sister Jane: Believing the Unbelievable
This film is an enaging portrait that sparkles with the courage, wit and humanity of Sister Jane Kelly, who combines her deep spiritual faith with her equally powerful commitment towards resistance and change.
Served Like a Girl
Five female veterans who have endured unimaginable trauma in service create a shared sisterhood to help the rising number of homeless female veterans.
Set Menu
Denied the coveted set menu for dining alone at a famously exclusive restaurant, Frances strikes an unexpected deal with a stranger to access both the menu and a night of peace and solitude.
Sex Crimes Unit
“Sex Crimes Unit” is an unprecedented look inside the New York District Attorneys office at the first and preeminent unit in the country dedicated to the prosecution of rape and sexual assault: the film examines the shocking legal history of injustice towards rape survivors; observes the process of investigation conducted by the Unit every day; tracks through trial the case of a prostitute who dared cry rape, and follows the inspiring story of one survivor’s 16-year journey to justice.
Shade
In SHADE, filmmaker Antreise Lacey examines how representations of light and dark skin play a role in creating destructive stereotypes.
