The Women In Film Magic Rat Film Showcase is set to return to Fort Collins, CO, with two upcoming events on July 16 and August 20. Hosted at the Magic Rat venue within The Elizabeth Hotel, these showcases aim to create space for women storytellers and build meaningful community through film.
The July 16 event will feature bold new films by women creators, including Cassie LeFevre, Hannah Tran, and Madison Santamaria. The screening and filmmaker talkback are scheduled to begin at an evening hour, although the exact time has yet to be confirmed.
Magic Rat, a premier live music and event venue in Fort Collins, offers a welcoming atmosphere for cultural events like the film showcase. The Elizabeth Hotel, where Magic Rat is located, also provides event spaces suitable for larger gatherings.
For those interested in attending, tickets and further details can be found on The Elizabeth Hotel's website (theelizabethcolorado.com). The organizers encourage support for local storytelling and independent film by attending the showcases.
The August 20 showcase will feature the psychological drama METHOD by Nkosi Roma. Tickets for this event are $10 and available on The Elizabeth Hotel's website. The growing interest in the Magic Rat Film Showcase is seen as a stepping stone toward larger platforms like the 2027 Sundance Film Festival.
Cassie LeFevre's film offers a perspective on biracial identity, while Hannah Tran's documentary, "There's a Lane for Us Here," highlights the stories of Vietnamese refugees. Madison Santamaria's animated short, Checkbox Other, navigates the complexities of growing up biracial.
