Barbara Hammer Through the Eyes of Others (Virtual Exclusive Shorts)
Curated and presented in partnership with MIX NYC, this Barbara Hammer-inspired shorts program spotlights work by filmmakers who were/are in conversation with Hammer—from engaging in her practices to making homages, writing letters, and (upon Hammer’s invitation) even using her footage.
Description
Virtual Exclusive
The pioneering lesbian experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer produced more than 80 films between 1968 and 2019; this shorts program showcases an array of works that explore her artistic output, her as a being, and the ripple effects both continue to have. The filmmaker began this process herself while she was alive—AUDIENCE offers a playful array of snippets from conversations about her work with attendees of numerous screenings. The program goes on to move through films by filmmakers who were/are in conversation with Hammer—from engaging in her practices to making homages, writing letters, and (upon Hammer’s invitation) even using her footage.
