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 37 years.

Actually, Iconic: Richard Estes
Richard Estes has been called the “father of photorealism” but has humbly avoided media attention over his long career. “Actually, Iconic: Richard Estes” invites viewers into Estes’ world with unprecedented access to the artist and his masterpieces.

Aitamaako’tamisskapi Natosi: Before the Sun

Akashinga: The Brave Ones
With many of Africa’s key species, including elephants, reaching levels near extinction, Akashinga is a radical, new and highly effective weapon against poaching. Founded by former Australian special forces soldier and anti-poaching leader Damien Mander, the women-only team of rangers, drawn from the abused and marginalized, is revolutionizing the way animals are protected and communities are empowered — and its members’ own lives are being transformed. Mander’s innovative approach to conservation calls for community buy-in rather than full-on armed assault against poachers: If a community understands the economic benefits of preserving animals, then it will eliminate poaching without an armed struggle. This short film is a celebration of the courage, conservation and unorthodox thinking that’s leading to massive positive change.
