Women+Film returns April 9-14 for 6-days of documentaries, narratives, and short films celebrating the best in women-centric programming; both by and about women. These thought-provoking stories of women from around the world are sure to inspire all audiences – both male and female – that come to see them. And if the movies aren’t enough inspiration, the powerhouses in filmmaking that come to discuss them will be sure to.
In addition to the amazing showcase of movies over 6-days, we also host panel discussions, special events, Q&A’s, a marketplace, culinary reception, an Awards Bruch with special guests, and so much more.
Through female-focused films, we can help inspire the next generation of women to dream big and to change the world. Help the Denver Film Society continue to find and showcase films by and about women that allow us to engage with audiences, build community, educate and inspire.
Become a part of our Women+Film Premiere Circle and see how your donations encourage the women of Denver to make an impact.
