Lover Other: The Story Of Claude Cahun And Marcel Moore
Dir: Barbara Hammer, USA, 2006, Beta SP, 55 mins
Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore cut mythic figures in the art world; they were stepsisters and lovers who, as key participants in the Parisian Surrealist movement in 1920s and ’30s, collaborated on collages, photographs and installations exploring gender-bending and lesbian eroticism. The pair later settled on the Isle of Jersey, where they were imprisoned for their creative and heroic acts of resistance against the Nazi occupation during WWII. In this fascinating documentary prolific filmmaker, archivist and commentator Barbara Hammer brings to life an intriguing chapter in lesbian cultural history.
