Los Angeles Filmforum members receive free admission at the box office!
Barbara Hammer will sign copies of Hammer! Making Movies Out of Sex and Life, Truant: Photographs 1970-1979, and Evidentiary Bodies in the lobby beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Beginning with her best-known short and ending with her most recent work, this program highlights Hammer’s playful, unfolding dialogue between corporeality and artistic method. Employing double exposure, optical printing, computer animation, and unexpected structural elements, these six works offer a primer on Hammer’s visual imagination and career-long fascination with the scintillating power of touch.
