Love, Barbara

Love, Barbara is a personal exploration of the love that inspired the trailblazing work of late lesbian experimental filmmaker & artist, Barbara Hammer, as told by her partner of over thirty years, Florrie Burke. In her collection of nearly 100 films, Barbara Hammer centered her own body, community, and love to create performative documentations of her lived experience as a lesbian. Her greatest love of all, though, was left largely visually unexplored in her public work. In Love, Barbara, Florrie Burke will discover Barbara’s personal work about their relationship, much of it unseen. Through blending cinematic imagery and archival materials such as video letters, sketches, and writing, we illuminate this piece of Barbara Hammer’s legacy. (Woodstock Film Festival)
