Recognition

While Kogut was residing in Paris, France, Harvard Film Archive wrote of her works being archived by their Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts and stated that she "has emerged as one of the most distinctive cultural filmmakers at work today. Her films are by turns whimsical, lyrical, and finely ironic—lighthearted and playful, yet also momentous and serious."[9]
