Barbara Forever

EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY KRISTEN STEWART

WINNER, TEDDY AWARD FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY, 2026 BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL  

Director Brydie O’Connor IN PERSON for Q&A on Friday, September 18 moderated by Documentary Filmmaker and Professor Johnny Symons!

Pioneering queer avant-garde filmmaker Barbara Hammer (1939–2019) broke barriers by centering frank lesbian sexuality and pleasure in an expansive body of beautiful, poetic, personal work. In BARBARA FOREVER—constructed largely from Hammer’s own archive spanning five decades, alongside audio diaries and present-day conversations with her longtime partner, Florrie Burke—director Brydie O’Connor crafts a loving portrait of a force of nature while accompanying her through her final years and creative processes.
