ReFocus: The Films of Roberta Findlay by Peter Alilunas
ReFocus: The Films of Roberta Findlay covers a variety of angles, using queer, feminist, historical, and close textual reading methods to grapple with the complicated and contradictory politics and meanings of this pioneering culture-worker. Chapters examine Findlay's marketing strategies, the gender politics of her exploitation and hardcore films, 1980s horror productions, and several case studies of key individual films, in addition to a new interview with Findlay reflecting on her life and career.
"A beautifully curated and engaging collection of some of the most important voices in porn studies and cult cinemaThese essays reflect the continued evolution of the field and the important work of canonizing overlooked yet profoundly significant filmmakers such as Findlay." -Laura Helen Marks, Tulane University
