With a career spanning more than forty years, Barbara Kopple (b.
1946) long ago established herself as one of the most prolific and
award-winning American filmmakers of her generation. Her projects
have ranged from labor union documentaries to fictional feature
films to an educational series for kids on the Disney Channel.
Through it all, Kopple has generously made herself available for a
great many print and broadcast interviews. The most revealing and
illuminating of these are brought together in this collection.
Here, Kopple explains her near-constant struggles to raise money
(usually while her films are already in production) and the
hardships arising from throwing her own money into such projects.
She makes clear the tensions between biases, objectivity, and
fairness in her films. Her interviewers raise fundamental
questions. What is the relationship between real people in
documentaries and characters in fictional films? Why does she
embrace a cinema verite style in some films but not others? Why
does she seem to support gun ownership in Harlan County, U.S.A.,
only to take a decidedly more neutral view of the issue in her film
Gun Fight?Kopple's concern for people facing crises is undeniable.
So is the affection she has for her more famous subjects--Woody
Allen playing a series of European jazz concerts, Gregory Peck on
tour, and the Dixie Chicks losing a fan base but making a fresh
start.
