Dyketactics

Barbara Hammer took a group of women to the countryside for a weekend of filming, then she cut into shreds an hour long film of women in nature, leaving just the core images showing touching. To her final 4 min edit she added some directed love making scenes.

“Dyketactics” has been premiered at the end of the semester to her teachers, and fellow students at the university. The film received a lot of praise by her professors after the screening, and even though she was taken by surprise, Hammer knew she was on something big. “Dyketactics” is the first lesbian lovemaking film made by a lesbian which opened a new ground in lesbian identity, desire, and aesthetic representation.
