Beyond the Wasteland
Self
La saga de películas de Mad Max es uno de los monumentos más grandes de la cultura popular moderna. Durante los 43 años que han pasado desde el estreno de la primera parte ha crecido a su alrededor un culto similar al de franquicias como La guerra de las galaxias y Star Trek. Beyond the Wasteland analiza y celebra ese fenómeno de masas con un respeto total hacia sus fans y el legado de la historia postapocalíptica creada por George Miller.

Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!
Self
Invitado en calidad de fan, el mismísimo Tarantino no duda en amenazarnos con el peor de los infiernos si no acabamos encantados con este documental consagrado al cine de exploitation australiano. Su entusiasmo, y el del resto de excepcionales invitados, al glosar los méritos de un puñado de artistas que convirtieron la Australia de los años 70 y 80 en un paraíso de cine de género, es tan elocuente como extremadamente contagioso. Not quite Hollywood radiografía a mil por hora una época repleta de desnudos frontales, explosiones, casquería, monumentales carreras de coches y sustos de primera y, sobre todo, de mucha ilusión, humor e ingenio.
The Craic

Charlie

But Gerald finds no comfort with his wife Melissa and friend Barry - his relationships with both collapse. In a surreal and strange fashion, Gerald eventually comes to understand what The Firm is about. Made on a tiny budget of $15,000 the film is a mix of naturalism and stylisation which the filmmaker hoped would work on 'a simple, surrealistic level'.

Stork
Tailor
Stork is a gangly young man, a virgin with an overactive imagination who thinks he’s a revolutionary. Bored with a design job at General Motors Holden in Melbourne, he drops out and moves into a share house with his mate Westy. He daydreams his way through life, bungling job interviews, upsetting ‘respectable’ people, and getting drunk. The only girl in the house, Anna resists Stork’s advances, because she’s already involved with the other two resident males, Tony and Clyde. But when she becomes pregnant and Clyde and Anna decide to marry, Stork, Tony, Clyde and Westy are shocked when they realize that either one of the foursome could be the father. Then the fun begins....
Hey Al, Baby
Al
Life inside a late 1960s Carlton student share house plays out across six alternately comedic and melancholy real-time vignettes. When his friend takes a trip, cinephile Al is left alone for the weekend with three female housemates, a situation that only serves to exacerbate his social awkwardness. One of the most distinctive works to emerge from the ‘Carlton ripple’, David Minter’s 1969 slice-of-life comedy carries echoes of Éric Rohmer’s moral tales.
