In AUDIENCE, the camera is less essayistic-experimental and decidedly more documentary. Hammer filmed at retrospectives of her work in San Francisco, London, Toronto and Montreal: “[An] invaluable historical archive, providing quick but complex portraits of lesbian scenes in different cities and countries … it also functions as a testament to the power of Hammer herself as a figure in lesbian culture, showing how fully she engages audiences to incite new forms of discourse about representation.” (Marcos Ortega, Experimental Cinema)
