Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival
Overview
For nearly four decades, Rocky Mountain Women's Film has inspired audiences through the power of film while championing the voices and stories of women. Founded in Colorado Springs in 1987, the organization presents the Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival, the longest-running women's film festival in North America. Each fall, the festival brings together filmmakers, artists and audiences from around the world for a weekend of documentary, narrative, animated and short films that celebrate the drive, spirit and diversity of women. Thought-provoking screenings are complemented by filmmaker Q&A sessions, panel discussions and community conversations that foster empathy, understanding and meaningful dialogue.
More than a film festival, Rocky Mountain Women's Film provides year-round programming that keeps the community connected through film. Signature events include Pop Up Cinema, featuring first-run independent films in a unique community setting, Shorts Night, showcasing award-winning short films from prestigious festivals around the world, and the monthly Film Club, which offers free screenings from the organization's extensive Madelyn Osur Film Library. Through its Film in the Community program, Rocky Mountain Women's Film partners with local organizations to bring impactful films to audiences throughout the Pikes Peak Region, making meaningful stories accessible beyond traditional theater settings. The organization also hosts filmmaker retreats and special events that encourage networking, collaboration and creative exchange among filmmakers and film enthusiasts.
Dedicated to building community through film, Rocky Mountain Women's Film creates opportunities to discover new perspectives, celebrate diverse voices and connect through the shared experience of storytelling. Whether attending the annual festival, participating in a community screening or engaging with filmmakers throughout the year, audiences are invited to experience films that inspire, educate and entertain while strengthening Colorado Springs' vibrant film community.
