Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant
Queer|Art is pleased to announce that this year, The Barbara Hammer Lesbian Experimental Filmmaking Grant has increased to $7,000. The grant will be awarded to self-identified lesbians for making visionary moving-image art. Work can be experimental animation, experimental documentary, experimental narrative, cross-genre, or solely experimental. Applicants must be based in the U.S. This grant was established by Hammer in 2017 to give needed support to moving-image art made by lesbians.
The grant is supported directly by funds provided by Hammer’s estate and administered through Queer|Art by lesbians for lesbians, with a rotating panel of judges. This year’s judges include Gelare Khoshgozaran, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, and Deborah Stratman.
