Sydney Film Festival (@sydfilmfest) announced their program yesterday and it’s beyond epic!

Amazing to see so many debut features in the lineup, including the exceptional BARBARA FOREVER (@barbaraforeverfilm), which picked up the Jonathan Oppenheim Editing Award at Sundance (@sundanceorg) and the coveted Teddy Award for Best Documentary at this year’s Berlinale (@berlinale).

Directed by Brydie O’Connor (@brydieoconnor), the documentary celebrates the iconic and pioneering lesbian avant-garde filmmaker Barbara Hammer.

And after seeing the documentary, it’s the perfect chance to dive deeper into Hammer’s extraordinary body of work, with a retrospective program of 19 films, curated by the brilliant Lisa Rose (@onelisarose), titled Barbara Hammer: Radical Visibility.
