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.

Boy Interrupted

How can a young boy end his life at the tender age of 15? This film seeks to find answers about what kind of life he led. What defines this film as a remarkably unique and truth-telling achievement is the way it explores how filmmaking can create closure for its creators as well as its audience.

Film Details

Border

Without any dialogue, volumes are spoken by this short but poignant film featuring the music of John Lennon. We are proud to present this film by Annette Solakoglu and her timely message of universal concern.

Break & Enter

3:00 am – a darkened house – the intruding burglar confidently collecting his take, unaware that the woman in the flannel nightie has other plans. She knocks him out with her frying pan, steals his clothes and his car, and leaves him to take her place. A delightfully silly Australian film that will make you smile.

Film Details

Claire Makes It Big

This film depicts what many of us would like to see: Claire is a full-figured actress who keeps losing parts to thinner rivals. When a role written specifically for her is given to a sexy starlet, she steals the film’s negative and gives us a surprise ending.

Film Details

Chalice of Repose

Told through vivid, real-life footage, Chalice of Repose documents the efforts of the Chalice of Repose Project, showing how contemplative musician-clinicians offer an “anointing of sound” that can help dramatically alleviate the pain of dying.  

Film Details

Canary of the Ocean

A beguiling documentary about the fabled coral reefs which are collapsing. Like the proverbial canary in the coal mine, the coral is warning us that the oceans are in trouble. This film is a celebration of coral’s beauty and a prayer for our planet.
