Filmmaker Brydie O’Connor and writer and art historian Dr. Ksenia M. Soboleva celebrate the life and work of Barbara Hammer, the pioneering lesbian filmmaker whose groundbreaking practice transformed queer and experimental cinema.

The discussion will reflect on Hammer’s enduring artistic legacy through the making of O’Connor’s award-winning documentary Barbara Forever (2026), which spans five decades of the artist’s life and work and opens for its New York theatrical run at Film Forum this September.
