Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival

And this weekend is a particularly great one for movie fans, with three festivals around the state.

First up, the Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival in Colorado Springs.

Now in its 39th year, the festival is screening 42 films over the weekend.

And there is quite the range.

So I hope people come out and enjoy that.

Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival is the longest running film fest in North America for women filmmakers.

Such an absolute gem in our crown.

We should all be there in mid-October, middle of Arts Month, right in the heart of it, for Rocky Mountain Women's Film.

[smacks lips] You know, the days are getting shorter, nights are getting longer.

It couldn't be a better time to watch films, and Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival is coming out soon in October.

In today's show, we're gonna interview Nicole Nicoletta and hear about why these films stick with us.

What do we love about them? Why do they stick around? And how's your opportunity to watch some? Tune in today.

This is what community sounds like.

Welcome to Elevating Pikes Peak Women, a podcast that amplifies the voices of women in our community.

[upbeat music] Today, I'm your host, Melissa Martz, [smacks lips] and as we lean into shorter days, longer nights, we start looking forward to the Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival of the year here in the Pikes Peak region.

Uh, in the studio with me today is Nicole Nicoletta, the executive director.

They are the same company that puts on or the same nonprofit that puts on Aspen Shorts Fest, which always sends a couple documentary nominees to the Oscars.

They're about Rocky Mountain Women's Film Fest, which is awesome.

That's down at Colorado College.

I think the oldest all-women film festival east of the Mississippi.
