COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — Driven, spirited and diverse voices make up the 2022 Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival, an event that has elevated the stories of women and others often unheard or unseen through film for 35 years.
On November 11th-13th, 2022, the longest-running women’s film festival in North America will host the 35th annual Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival, once again making us laugh, cry and question what we thought we knew. Forty-one films will be screened over the three-day festival. A sampling of selections include:
● Battleground, directed by Colorado College graduate Cynthia Lowen, presents a timely window into the intersection of abortion and politics in America, following three women who lead formidable anti-abortion organizations to witness the influence they wield.
● Being Michelle, a film that raises awareness around the disproportionate impact of incarceration and systemic discrimination on deaf/disabled people.
● The Flagmakers, co-directed by Sharon Liese and Oscar-winner Cynthia Wade, is a behind-the-scenes look at the largest American flag factory in the United States where a tight-knit team of diverse refugees and immigrants from twelve nations cut, sew and ship 5 million American flags a year. This is Cynthia’s 7th screening at the Festival, the most of any one filmmaker.
Since inception, RMWFF has screened nearly 1000 films, hosted more than 250 filmmakers, and served an audience of tens of thousands. The Festival is the longest running women’s film festival in the Western Hemisphere.
“We’re so proud of this year’s lineup, the incredible filmmakers that will be represented, and stories that will be shared.” said Linda Broker, Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film.
“Listening to another perspective matters now more than ever. It’s an honor to do this work and we believe people will leave this festival a little different than they came in.”
The festival will be returning to Colorado College after a two-year hiatus. Screenings will take place in the Cornerstone Arts Center, Kathryn Morhman Theatre, and Packard Hall. A variety of pass options are available to fit various schedules and budgets.
