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 37 years. These films celebrate the drive, spirit and diversity of women, while sharing the stories and experiences of those often unheard or unseen.

Aitamaako’tamisskapi Natosi: Before the Sun
An intimate and thrilling portrait of a young Siksika woman and her family in the golden plains of Blackfoot Territory as she prepares for one of the most dangerous horse races in the world… bareback.

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.

All of Me
A story of love, loss and last resorts Through the personal stories of three severely obese women who choose weight-loss surgery, All of Me shines a fresh light on the causes, challenges, and intense psychological struggles surrounding obesity in our society, as well as our attitudes and prejudices towards the obese.

Althea

Always in Season
When 17-year-old Lennon Lacy is found hanging from a swingset in rural North Carolina in 2014, his mother’s search for justice and reconciliation begins while the trauma of more than a century of lynching African Americans bleeds into the present.
American Commune
Sisters Nadine Mundo and Rena Mundo Croshere return to the Farm, the legendary commune where they were raised, to explore why it was founded, how it worked, and why it fell apart.

American Hollow
The story of an Appalachian family caught between century-old traditions and the modern world. A disturbing portrait of poverty, turmoil and hopelessness, this film is ultimately joyous, life-affirming exploration of the lives, loves and dreams of a distinctly American family.

American Outrage
Why is the United States government spending millions persecuting and prosecuting two elderly women grazing a few horses and cows in a desolate desert? The U. S. Bureau of Land Management insists the sisters are degrading the land. The sisters say the real reason is the resources hidden below this seemingly barren land. It is the second largest gold producing area in the world.
