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.
Fire Tower
Gazing from one hundred feet above the forest, FIRE TOWER draws us into the lookouts’ world and invites us to contemplate how solitude can inspire a different connection with nature, community and our creativity.
Chasing Time
A meditative exploration of time and mortality, Chasing Time follows photographer James Balog as he brings the 15-year Extreme Ice Survey project to a close. Accompanied by the Emmy-winning team behind Chasing Ice, the film unveils astounding visual evidence of climate change and spotlights the power of intergenerational collaboration in inspiring hope and action toward a sustainable future.
Bearing Witness: A Name & A Voice
Four journalists reveal the stories that propel them to amplify the voiceless, challenge the powerful, and answer the call to bear witness.
All Choked Up
A woman must decide whether to save her husband when he chokes on a sandwich during lunch.
399: Queen of the Tetons
399: Queen of the Tetons follows the famous Grizzly 399 as she struggles to raise an unusually large litter in the face of human encroachment, a rapidly changing climate, and disputes over her Endangered Species protections.
147
Stephanie Houser embarks on a grueling 147-mile run over 48 hours, each mile symbolizing a day her preemie baby, Zev, battled for his life in the NICU. As their stories entwine, Steph’s run and Zev’s fight for survival push the Hauser family’s hope to the limits.
Midwives
Sofia and Louise are newly qualified midwives. They quickly encounter the challenges of everyday hospital life in a broken health-care system.
Skinned Knees
Colorado Springs filmmaker Olive Van Eimeren returns to her childhood home of Grand Junction to confront her past and seek reconciliation withan abusive father in this searing coming-of-age story.
Your Fat Friend
A film about fatness, family, the complexities of change and the deep, messy feeling we hold about our bodies.
The Test
A Ghanaian maintenance technician at a Virginia retirement community dreams of becoming an American citizen to provide a better life for his family. With their future at stake, he enlists the help of two elderly residents to prepare for the biggest test of his life: the US Citizenship exam.
Subject
Subject explores the life-altering experience of sharing one’s life on screen through the participants of five acclaimed documentaries. As tens of millions of people consume documentaries in an unprecedented “golden era,” the film urges audiences to consider the impact on documentary participants – the good, the bad, and the complicated.
Racist Trees
Racial tensions are reignited as a historically Black neighborhood in Palm Springs fights to remove trees that many believe were originally planted as a totem of segregation. This intimate, sobering, and at times humorous investigation uncovers an even darker history that few would equate with the City’s progressive image.
