Opening Thursday, October 23rd, at 9:30PM
Barbara Hammer: Double Strength / Sappho / The Great Goddess / Multiple Orgasm (1978 / 1979 / 1977 / 1976) 20m / 7m / 22m / 6m · 16mm
Four textural, tender films of sex, landscape, language, and divinity. In Double Strength, the trajectory of a relationship is tracked in the movements of performance artists. In Sappho, the poet’s texts become a force of resurrection. Life cycles are ritualized in The Great Goddess, while in Multiple Orgasm, rock and flesh are analogized as the audience is asked to “hear themselves breathe.”
Double Strength and Multiple Orgasm were preserved by Electronic Arts Intermix and the Academy Film Archive through the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Avant-Garde Masters Grant program and The Film Foundation. Funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation.
