| | WOMEN MAKE MOVIES | The Female Closet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | This fascinating videotape from renowned filmmaker Barbara Hammer combines rare footage, interviews, and rich visual documentation to survey the lives of variously closeted women artists from different segments of the 20th century: Victorian photographer Alice Austen, Weimar collagist Hannah Höch, and present day painter Nicole Eisenman. |
 | | Examining the museum as closet, and the negotiation of visibility and secrecy in lesbian history, this thoughtful video is a provocative look at the relationship between art, life, and sexuality. |
 | | “Hammer’s new doc is an accomplished scissors-and-paste job, using talking heads, home movies, and archival photographs in it’s investigation of the lives, art, and sexual histories of three women artists.” |
