Love, Barbara
Brydie O’Connor
With over 100 films to her name, Barbara Hammer was a pioneer of lesbian experimental film. Hammer’s incredible influence on lesbian communities, artists and film-makers is well documented, but less well known is Hammer’s great love and long-time partner Florrie Burke. It is through Burke’s eyes, her enduring love and grief following Hammer’s death, that the film-maker’s work and legacy are rediscovered.
