Queer Genius

Queer Genius
Barbara Hammer (1939–2019)
Queer Genius profiles five queer artists: legendary film­maker Barbara Hammer (who passed away before the film was completed), poet Eileen Myles, Rasheedah Phillips and Camae Ayewa (a.k.a. Moor Mother) of the Black Quantum Futurism collective, and performance artist Jibz Cameron (a.k.a. Dynasty Handbag). Hammer was the only artist whose work I had seen prior to this film, but all five bring an unapologetic queer voice to their work and to their lives. Highly recommended.
