Tender Fictions

Barbara Hammer, USA 1995 ⁄ color ⁄ 58' ⁄ ST - OND: FR

Self-portrait of Barbara Hammer, a pioneer of experimental lesbian cinema who continually questioned how a life can be told, preserved and passed on. In Tender Fictions, Hammer creates an autobiography in her own image: free and elusive. Super 8 footage, personal archives, testimonies, appropriated excerpts and imagined fragments come together in a collage where she investigates her own life as much as she reinvents it. With constant humour and exhilarating formal inventiveness, she blurs the boundaries between archive, memory and fiction.

Screening introduced in French by ladestructiondesespacesvides.
