SYNOPSIS
One of Barbara HAMMER’s early films, Sisters! shows a place only women live. Women drive trucks, fix cars, paint and chop down trees. The director filmed the footage during the Women’s International Day march. The highlight of this women’s world is a festival scene in the last part of the movie. Topless women rock their bodies to the sounds of a drum from a band. Although its running time is short at 9 minutes, it gives an incredible feeling of freedom. [KWON Eunhye]

Barbara HAMMERBarbara HAMMER is an internationally recognized film artist who has made 80 films/videos making a significant contribution to lesbian and gay cinema. Her experimental films of the 1970’s often dealt with taboo subjects such as menstruation, female orgasm, and lesbian sexuality. In the 80’s, she used optical printing to explore perception and the fragility of 16mm film life itself.
