Through conversations, observations, archival footage, and the work of visionary artists, historians, curators and critics, !Women Art Revolution (!W.A.R.) explores the ?secret history? of feminist art. Starting from its roots in 1960s antiwar and civil rights protests, this documentary details major developments in feminist art through the 1970s and explores how the tenacity and courage of these pioneering artists resulted in what is now widely regarded as the most significant art movement of the late 20th century. For over forty years, filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson has collected a plethora of interviews with her contemporaries?and shaped them into an intimate portrayal of their fight to break down barriers facing women both in the art world and society at large. With a score by Sleater-Kinney?s Carrie Brownstein, !W.A.R. features Miranda July, Judy Chicago, Yoko Ono, and many other groundbreaking artists. !W.A.R was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival, and the 2011 Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals.
