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.

Industry Reviews

A beautifully curated and engaging collection of some of the most important voices in porn studies and cult cinema. These 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

A pioneering, prolific filmmaker who disdains her historical contributions to several male-dominated industries. A self-proclaimed misogynist who has been reclaimed as an unlikely "feminist" auteur. This fascinating new collection shines a much-needed spotlight on the many contradictions of Roberta Findlay, and is sure to become essential reading for scholars of adult and exploitation cinema.

--David Church, Indiana University
