UistFilm presents: WAR PAINT – Women at War, screening in Carinish Hall on Friday 28th March, 7pm.
Margy Kinmonth’s feature documentary shines a light on the trailblazing role of women war artists, on the front lines round the world, championing the female perspective on conflict through art and asking: when it’s life or death, what do women see that men don’t? Traditionally a male domain, war art by women has been largely unrecognised. Until now…
The evening will include a pre-recorded Q&A with BAFTA award winning director Margy Kinmonth:
As a female director I want to show war from the female point of view. Up till now I’ve seen war through men’s eyes. Now I’m asking whether conflict is different as experienced by women? Art bears witness in countries where women are silenced and journalism banned, I show how art breaks the taboo, where violence against women is used as a weapon of war. My film shines a light on female artists, historically undervalued, because of their gender. And I feel today more than ever, there’s an urgent need to reset the dial, to relate these stories now, to tell the truth to power. Margy Kinmonth
