As the first woman to win two Best Documentary Oscars and the
recipient of numerous lifetime achievement awards, Barbara Kopple
deserves scholarly attention. Two of her early documentaries,
Harlan County USA and American Dream, not only won Academy Awards
but are foundational within the study of documentary as a whole. In
ReFocus: The Films of Barbara Kopple, a range of international
scholars trace Kopple's career to date, analysing her contributions
in the contexts of funding, style, production and reception, and
examining her films' interrogations of social class using the
lenses of gender, sexuality and race. In a shifting digital media
landscape, Kopple's critical reputation is also assessed, alongside
her enduring influence on contemporary filmmakers.
