Barbara Hammer: Queer Cinema Pioneer, Icon, Activist. Retrospective
This retrospective of the queer and feminist cinema pioneer, icon, and activist Barbara Hammer covers her work ranging from the early 1970s – when the director brought the body and the lesbian nude to the screen, creating truly subversive art for that time – to her most recent films made in the 21st century. Barbara Hammer's films are the result of an experimental search for tools to challenge stereotypes about gender roles, lesbian identity, and sexuality and expose the historical exclusion of non-heteronormative people from public space. Her work features bold erotica used as a political tool in the fight for equality. Suitable for adult audiences only.
