“I really felt her frustration at so many different points,” says Brydie O’Connor , director of “Barbara Forever.” “We had such wonderful partners, but we were all working overtime on this little movie that could. All the success that we’ve seen with this film hasn’t translated into funding for new projects or making money.

I really hope that it will at some point.” Related Stories ‘SNL’ Sets Druski as First Online Content Creator to Host Rosalía Performs an Entire Number En Pointe on ‘SNL,’ Then Cools Off With a Nice Shower After screenings at Sundance and Berlinale, O’Connor is bringing the film to Ji.hlava Intl. Documentary Film Festival, where she presented it at the U.S.

Docs showcase in 2023. Produced by A Space Time Films and Killer Films production in co-production with Kartemquin Films, it gained powerful allies in Kristen Stewart and uber-producer Christine Vachon .

“Christine was like: ‘I love that it’s an unconventional approach to an unconventional artist.’ I’m such a fan of her filmography and some of her films are the most groundbreaking queer films I’ve ever seen. That’s what supporting a new generation of queer artists looks like,” notes O’Connor.

Making a film about someone who, despite her influence, isn’t exactly a household name, wasn’t easy. “We kept hearing: ‘We love your enthusiasm for Barbara Hammer, you emerging lesbian filmmaker.

But does that relate to the present day and broader audiences?’” Hammer passed away in 2019. “I was wondering: How did she do it all?

How did she make over 85 films? How did she archive her entire life in 125 boxes that she eventually sold to Yale?

How did she have such a successful relationship towards the end of her life? The complexity of just living, being ambitious and trying to make it happen feels very relatable to me,” she says.

“Now, so many people are being introduced to Barbara and feeling so moved by this film. I’m so grateful for that.

It’s such a win to release it, but it was hard to convince people of its place in the market.” Ironically enough, Hammer’s work often felt ahead of her time. Like today’s influencers, she wasn’t afraid to interview passers-by, film herself or share intimate moments with the camera.

“It feels very contemporary. Barbara started using social media at the end of her life, and she was certainly interested in it.

She put herself in the frame as a way to process her feelings and certain situation in her life. She filmed everything.” But there was a reason behind her methods.

“Barbara had this idea that it would offer insight into how one lesbian, and one woman, navigated the world. In the influencer era, that throughline isn’t necessarily as present.
