Lesbian Filmmaker Barbara Hammer Remembered in 'Barbara Forever'

In the 1970s, Barbara Hammer came out as a lesbian, and began making films. Her early work is credited as being the first films made by a lesbian that explore lesbian life. A new documentary, 'Barbara Forever,' uses Hammer's extensive archive to reflect on what made her a special filmmaker. Director Brydie O'Connor and Florrie Burke — Barbara Hammer's longtime partner and manager of her estate — discuss the film, which opens at Film Forum on September 4.
