INTERVIEW - Roberta Findlay vs Academia

She's one of the most prolific female filmmakers of all time, becoming a bona-fide entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry. She also worked entirely in sexploitation and horror, and has stubbornly resisted any attempts at canonization. Is there art in the unabashedly commercial cinema of Roberta Findlay? In this special report, Will talks to Peter Alilunas and Whitney Strub, co-editors of "ReFocus: The Films of Roberta Findlay," the first book about one of American cinema's most fascinating, challenging, and contradictory figures. Check out "ReFocus: The Films of Roberta Findlay" - https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-refocus-the-films-of-roberta-findlay.html Join the virtual book launch on Tuesday, December 3, 4-6pm (with Roberta in attendance!) - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/refocus-the-films-of-roberta-findlay-paperback-launch-tickets-1095355480729 The Rialto Report's interview with Findlay - https://www.therialtoreport.com/2015/08/16/roberta-findlay/ Our vintage episode on Findlay - https://soundcloud.com/the-important-cinema-club/92-roberta-findlay-thinks-your-stupid-for-liking-her-films
