Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival
Major legitimate festival with strong credentials
The Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival (RMWFF) in Colorado Springs is the longest-running women's film festival in North America, having launched in 1988 to showcase films by and about women. It presents a diverse array of documentary, narrative, short, and animated films that highlight the female lens, celebrating the drive, spirit, and diversity of women while fostering global awareness and personal growth. The festival is notable for its 30+ year legacy, its mission-driven programming that includes films by men only if they reflect women's experiences, and its role as a second-longest-running women's film festival globally after France's Créteil International Women's Film Festival.
