BORDERLINES FILM FESTIVAL 2025

DIRECTOR: Margy Kinmonth
UK, 2025, 1 HOUR 30 MINUTES, ENGLISH

Following her immensely popular Eric Ravilious – Drawn to War feature documentary, Margy Kinmonth now shines a light on the trailblazing role of women war artists.

On the front lines around the world, championing the female perspective on conflict through art, the film asks: 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… Culture breaks taboos, crosses borders – tells the truth to power.

Artists featured in an entirely female cast of contributors include Dame Rachel Whiteread, Zhanna Kadyrova, Maggi Hambling, Assil Diab, Dame Laura Knight, Marcelle Hanselaar, Cornelia Parker, Maya Lin and Lee Miller.
