About

An archive-driven documentary about the life, work and legacy of lesbian experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer, guided by her own voice.

Barbara Forever is an archive-driven documentary about the life, work and legacy of Barbara Hammer, a pioneering lesbian experimental filmmaker. Directed by Brydie O'Connor in her feature debut, it draws on Hammer's own voice, extensive audio interviews, archival footage and a collection of previously unreleased material. The film follows her work and her effort to record her own history, presenting that work as a blueprint for future queer artists. The cast includes Barbara Hammer, Florrie Burke, Joey Carducci and Todd Haynes as themselves; Hammer, Carducci and Haynes appear in archive footage. Building on an oeuvre of more than eighty films, the documentary explores Hammer's life, body, lovers and lesbian identity.
