Subject

Description

Gift from filmmaker. Barbara is a friend and colleage. She was one of the subjects of my book and documentary on feminist film history, Women of Vision. Over a long career in filmmaking, Barbara explored many styles and theories that would allow her to best represent lesbian experience, sexuality, identity, and politics. She was a mentor, a bon vivant, and an activist. I interviewed her about her late in life retrospective at the Leslie Lohman Gallery in 2017 for the Brooklyn Rail, and then commemerated her, Carollee Schnemann, and Agnes Varda after their deaths in a piece for hyperallergic.
