Abstract Details

2021, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Ohio University, Film.
Barbara Hammer, a trailblazing figure of queer and feminist experimental filmmaking, exemplifies the alternative cinema proposed by Laura Mulvey in her seminal essay, 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.' By breaking down the formal techniques used in Hammer's 1975 film 'Superdyke Meets Madame X,' this paper seeks to emphasize how Hammer's deliberate inclusion of her own queer body calls out and subverts the conventions established by a mainstream cinema dominated by the patriarchy's male gaze.
