War Paint: Women at War (12A)
Dir. Margy Kinmonth, UK, 2025, 90 mins.
Traditionally a male domain, war art by women has been largely unrecognised. Culture breaks the taboo, crosses borders, tells truth to power. Artists featured include Dame Rachel Whiteread, Zhanna Kadyrova, Maggi Hambling, Assil Diab, Dame Laura Knight, Marcelle Hanselaar, Cornelia Parker, Maya Lin, Shirin Neshat and Lee Miller. An entirely female cast of contributors makes this film a unique undertaking – telling vital truths in turbulent times.
War Paint: Women At War is the third instalment in Kinmonth’s trilogy of films about how artists depict war, following the acclaimed Eric Ravilious z– Drawn To War and War Art with Eddie Redmayne.
