From the writer, director and producer of Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War comes War Paint: Women at War
Margy Kinmonth's film asks: When it's life or death, what do women see that men don't?
Kinmonth’s latest feature documentary WAR PAINT shines a light on the trailblazing role of women war artists, championing the female perspective on conflict through art.
Today wars are raging globally - contemporary artists punch through to create a unique artistic legacy alongside the daily media feed. Working on the front line, in the midst of the conflict zone and crucially in its aftermath, official and unofficial women war artists document and expose, inspire and provoke, memorialise and heal.
Traditionally a male domain, war art by women has been largely unrecognised and undervalued. Until now…
Kinmonth assembles key artistic female witnesses and survivors of war, filming internationally with some of the world’s top contemporary artists - to tell the truth to power.
An entirely female cast of artists and contributors make this film a unique undertaking - telling vital stories in turbulent times.
