... comes another masterpiece!
It is a bit Oz-related as some of filmmakers interviewed in this documentary are Aussies.

Outback Tent Boxing
Another brilliant little documentary I found on YouTube.
Tent Boxing is a crossover of sport and entertainment in which fist fights are organised between professional boxers and the local guys who want to prove to their mates and, above all, to themselves that they can conquer their fear and face a superior adversary - that they are real men. Not so much different from adulthood initiation practices in so many ancient cultures.
It's a bit of Australian identity which - sadly - may become extinct before it even gets known.

The Horseman
Another gritty genre film from Australia. I'm not sure if it will get any form of official distribution in Poland, but if you stumble upon it by any chance I think it's worth your time.
Not for the faint-hearted, though - a lot of gore in this one ;-)
Take a look at the trailer.
My favourite film blogger claims that the flick features one of the best fight scenes he's ever seen put on film. Well... the trailer shows that it definitely has its potential. ;-)

Make sure that you watch the "making of" featurettes. They're brilliant! This is the true spirit of filmmaking! :-)

Anyone craves for a good ol' slasher film? ;-)
Those of you who saw Not Quite Hollywood will undoubtedly be pleased to learn that the sacred tradition of making fun B movies is alive and kicking Down Under ;-)
I'm not saying it's a must-see film or that it has any artistic merit, but those of you who enjoy that kind of cinema could really give it a try.
