BARBARA FOREVER

An intimate, dreamlike, and masterfully crafted portrait of pioneering filmmaker Barbara Hammer, the iconic lesbian feminist artist who created some of the most significant works in the history of queer cinema. Tracing her rich body of work and its resonance today, incorporating previously unseen documents from her life, and remaining faithful to what Hammer herself called “tactical cinema” – playing on the word’s ambiguity to suggest a cinema of tactility that seems to devise a strategy for overturning the canon – this hommage harnesses the power of the archive to render visible the naked lives of those outside the norm, ultimately granting them a form of immortality.
