Next Thursday, November 3, Simmons College will offer a free screening and panel discussion of !WAR: Women Art Revolution, beginning at 6:30 p.m. It will be shown in the Main College Building, Room C103. A panel discussion will follow the film.
“Based on forty years of interview footage [Lynn Hersman] Leeson shot of major figures in the feminist art movement, the documentary aims to fill in the gaps of a forgotten chapter—it’s a book, really—in the story of art,” Ethan Gilsdorf wrote in a review of the film in the November/December issue of Art New England. Leeson is a veteran filmmaker, who directed Teknolust, Conceiving Adam, and Strange Culture. All three films star Tilda Swinton.
Look for a complete review of this film in the current issue of Art New England.
