ON SCREEN: Barbara Forever + Love, Barbara
Love, Barbara. 2022. Directed by Brydie O’Connor. Runtime 15min. Not Rated.

Barbara Forever. 2026. Directed by Brydie O’Connor. Runtime 1hr 42min. Not Rated.
Barbara Forever explores the films, archive, and ongoing cultural impact of experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer, revealing her ingenious lifelong artistic effort to create and record lesbian histories, personal and societal. Through her own images and words, the film centers Hammer as a prism of the cultural ecosystems around her through the feminist and queer movements in 1970s San Francisco, the male-dominated New York art world of the 1980s, the New Queer Cinema movement of the 1990s, and expanded LGBTQIA+ representation in art and culture in the 2000s.
ON STAGE: Lesbian Cinema Club
Lesbian Cinema Club is a Portland local screening series and gathering that started in the summer of 2025 as a top surgery fundraiser for lead organizer and programmer, Noname. The series started in a backyard with a few friends with a simple goal to watch and learn about Lesbian artists and filmmakers while fundraising for gender affirming care. The series quickly became a large community gathering for local queer and lesbian film-lovers.
