Film Library
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 35 years. These films celebrate the drive, spirit and diversity of women, while sharing the stories and experiences of those often unheard or unseen.
We are the Radical Monarchs
Meet the Radical Monarchs, a group of young girls of color at the front lines of social justice. Set in Oakland, a city with a deep history of social justice movements, the film documents the journey of the group as they earn badges for completing units including being an LGBTQ+ ally, preserving the environment, and disability justice.
As We Were
On a winter afternoon, Alex must realize the importance of family and her responsibility for her grandfather, remembering that he had done the same for her when she was little.
Rewind
Digging through the vast collection of his father’s home videos, a young man reconstructs the unthinkable and traumatic story of his boyhood, exposing a dark secret of abuse passed through generations.
The Opposites Game
A classroom erupts into a war of words as students grapple with a seemingly simple prompt: what is the opposite of a gun?
Ashes to Ashes
Winfred Rembert, the only living survivor of a lynching, a Star Wars fanatic and leather artist, collides and develops a friendship with Doctor Shirley Jackson Whitaker who is on a mission to memorialize the forgotten 4,000 African Americans lynched during the Jim Crow era. Together, their journeys of healing intertwine.
We Believe in Dinosaurs
Faith and the scientific method collide amid the battleground of a Kentucky creationism museum.

Black Hat
A seemingly pious Hasidic man living a secret double life misplaces his black hat one night which causes his two separate lives to collide in a way he never imagined.
