With lashings of gratuitous sex, violence and fuel-injected muscle car mayhem, the 70s and 80s Aussie exploitation films that broke all the taboos are exposed in a program inspired by Mark Hartley’s long awaited documentary Not Quite Hollywood.

Co-presented with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and co-curated by Mark Hartley.
