know before you go

39th Annual Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival Is Almost Here!

The wait is almost over! October 16–18, three days of films celebrating the drive, spirit, and diversity of women arrive in Colorado Springs, and the energy is already electric. Whether you’ve been counting down since last year’s closing credits or you’re joining us for the first time, there’s a seat here for you.

We’ve mapped out everything you need for the weekend: parking details, food options from box lunches to food trucks and nearby restaurants, weekend highlights, and live music at select events.

This isn’t just another film festival. It’s 42 films carefully selected from hundreds of submissions, stories that come alive on screen, and a weekend you’ll still be talking about long after the lights come up.

The countdown is on. See you at the festival!
