Barbara Forever

Barbara Forever is a vibrant, deeply moving tribute to legendary experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer, a fearless pioneer who forever changed the landscape of queer cinema. Packed with dazzling archival footage, rare interviews, and excerpts from her groundbreaking films, the documentary traces Hammer’s decades-long career challenging conventions of gender, sexuality, and artistic form.

Openly lesbian at a time when visibility came at great personal and professional risk, Hammer created boldly intimate work that centered queer desire and female bodies with radical honesty.

Both celebratory and reflective, Barbara Forever captures the wit, defiance, and creative fire of an artist whose influence continues to inspire new generations of filmmakers.
