Description
Doris Wishman was a pioneering filmmaker who left behind a body of work comprising almost 30 films. Her work in the sexploitation and adult film genres has often been overlooked by critical analysis, but films like Hideout in the Sun, Bad Girls Go To Hell, Double Agent 73, and Each Time I Kill demonstrate an interest in complex social performances. ReFocus: The Films of Doris Wishman positions Wishman as a significant force in American independent film, with an impact on how we understand cult, exploitation, horror, experimental, and avant-garde cinema. This book sheds new light on Wishman's work and its relevance to contemporary film studies. Alicia Kozma and Finley Freibert bring their expertise in communication and media studies to this study of Doris Wishman's films.
