The Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival (RMWFF) is back in person this year for its 34th annual festival. The event has taken place in Colorado Springs since 1988, making it the longest-running women’s film festival in the U.S.
The festival, which will run from Nov. 12-14, will be held at the Pikes Peak Center downtown.
According to their website, “Rocky Mountain Women’s Film elevates the stories of women and others who are often unheard or unseen, cultivating a more empathetic and connected community.”
The RMWFF will kick off on Friday night in the Great Hall at 7:30 p.m. with the opening night film, “Writing with Fire.” This documentary tells the story of the reporters of India’s only female-run newspaper, who take it upon themselves to expose their country’s extremist Hindu leadership, rape culture and corruption, with only their smartphones.
Forty films will be featured at the festival. You can review the full list of films here.
