Film Club update

This Thursday (18 March) we'll be watching NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD - one of the best documentaries released in 2008.

Sneak preview below.




Welcome to NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD" - the wild, wonderful, untold story of OZPLOITATION cinema a time when Australian cinema got its gear off and showed the world a full-frontal explosion of sex, violence, horror and foot-to-the-floor, full bore action!

This is not your usual documentary full of boring anecdotes by dull historians, instead these are the real stories from the people who were there - wild, trail-blazing cinematic mavericks who snubbed their nose at authority, made their own rules and in the process introduced the car chase, karate kick, BMX bikes and water-bed to Oz cinema.

Jam packed full of outrageous anecdotes, lessons in guerrilla-style filmmaking, a smattering of International names (including Ozploitation devotee Quentin Tarantino) and a genuine, infectious love of Australian cinema, NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD is a pacy, entertaining, journey through a forgotten cinematic era unashamedly packed full of boobs, pubes, tubes and a little kung fu.



The film is divided into three distinct parts, and I think we'll watch just two of them.

I am against censhorship in any shape and form, but please bear in mind that this film is not for the faint-hearted or easily offended ;-) So if you want to have a look, consider yourselves warned ;-)


The screening will begin at 12:15. (ROOM 207)



It will be right after St. Patrick's Day so you are all welcome to bring in Irish Stew, Shepherd's Pie, (non-alcohol) beer or whatever else your heart desires :-)
