Not Quite Hollywood

During the 1970s, Australian cinema gained global attention, largely due to acclaimed works like Peter Weir's "Picnic At Hanging Rock." However, a vibrant underground movement emerged, producing low-budget exploitation films that embraced a raw, unrefined approach. Mark Hartley's documentary delves into this audacious period, showcasing the wild mix of sex and violence characteristic of these films. Featuring a selection of outrageous clips and candid interviews with the rebellious filmmakers who shaped this unique genre, the film paints a vivid picture of an era that challenged the norms of traditional filmmaking.
