Barbara Hammer: Short Films

May 7, 2023 8:30 pm

ΛΑΛΑ and the Perverts Cine Club (PCC) present a screening of not previously seen in Athens short films by the pioneer of queer cinema, Barbara Hammer, who passed away in 2019. Barbara Hammer’s work spans over four decades and is in itself an archive of queer history. Her oeuvre shifts between sensitive, poetic celluloid investigations of lesbian sexuality, multimedia political video essays of the 80s, focusing particularly on the AIDS crisis and documentaries on queer subjects.
