A pioneer of lesbian and queer self-representation “in a world where we are invisible”, a seductive lover – and a both experimental and daring filmmaker. Above all this: a lust for life. Through her films, that include DYKETACTICS (1974), AUDIENCE (1982) and NITRATE KISSES (1992), hitherto unseen archive material, Barbara’s narrative voice and with her life partner Florrie Burke as another focal point the temporality of life itself is queered: lots of sex and intimacy, the theory of the cinema of touch, the desire for artistic recognition, her relationship with her mother in an immigrant family and the mission to pass on and share what film does best, not least in view of her illness and dying. Fans, newcomers and returning viewers alike: allow yourself be touched by this Dyke Poetry! (Berlinale Forum, Gaby Babić)
