Barbara Forever is an expansive, immersive exploration of filmmaker Barbara Hammer’s life, work, and enduring cultural impact. She reshaped cinema with a sensual, experimental, unapologetically lesbian vision rooted in connection and self-expression. With over eighty films, unreleased archives, and audio interviews, Brydie O’Connor’s portrait lets Hammer’s voice shine and extends her legacy.

Following its world premiere at Sundance 2026 and its celebrated run at the Berlinale 2026, where it won the Teddy Award for Best Documentary/Essay Film, the film comes back to our festival after its presentation in our Public Pitch, part of DocsBarcelona Pro 2023.

🗣️ The Q&A on Sunday the 10th with the film’s director will be held with the collaboration of the team from the Barcelona International Women’s Film Festival (MIFDB).
