Presented by the San Francisco International Film Festival in association with SFMOMA.
Feminist artists in the late 1960s and 1970s took on the old-boy art establishment in an all-out WAR: Women Art Revolution. Lynn Hershman Leeson was there with her camera and in 40 years has never turned it off. Her women artists’ tales of WAR are woven together with original graphics by Spain Rodriguez.
