SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series presents : Long Weekend (1978)
DESCRIPTION:An unsettling cross between Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds (1963) and an early Harold Pinter play\, Colin Eggleston’s Long Weekend presents us with an extremely prickly couple on holiday who are finding it harder and harder to tolerate each other even as it becomes increasingly apparent that nature itself might be out to do them in at their idyllic beach campsite. Petty squabbling and rampant passive aggressivity momentarily distract from the couple’s casual littering and senseless slaughter of animals. As the film goes on\, however\, the couple’s problems with each other and nature’s problems with them start to overlap and soon develop a queasily menacing force. Not to be missed!

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series Presents: Wyrmwood
DESCRIPTION:We need to find a zombie fast.\nThe visually striking feature-film debut of director Kiah Roache-Turner\, who made it on weekends with friends and actors over a number of years\, Wyrmwood approaches the ubiquitous zombie apocalypse (familiar to us from so many works of popular culture over the past decade or so) in an unusually inventive and frenetic do-it-yourself spirit. A passing meteor (our star of Wormwood from the Book of Revelation here) seems to be the instigating force in the transformation of much of the world’s population into zombies\, though a few humans manage to hold off against zombification and try to make their way across the Outback to save one of their family members. A mad scientist\, telepathically controlled zombie hordes\, and a novel solution to the world energy crisis all help make this stand out from recent zombie films/television shows. Not to be missed! \n\n  \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing exploitation films from Australia each week on Wednesdays. Same time starting at 7 pm in Stevenson Room 150. All are welcome! Tell your family and invite your friends. \nWeek 1 – Wolf Creek (2005; dir. Greg McLean)\nWeek 2 – Wake in Fright (1971; dir. Ted Kotcheff)\nWeek 3 – Razorback (1984; dir. Russell Mulcahy)\nWeek 4 – Wyrmwood (2014; dir. Kiah Roache-Turner)\nWeek 5 – Long Weekend (1978; dir. Colin Eggleston)\nWeek 6 – Patrick (1978; dir. Richard Franklin)\nWeek 7 – Next of Kin (1982; dir. Tony Williams)\nWeek 8 – The Loved Ones (2009; dir. Sean Byrne)\nWeek 9 – Stone (1974; dir. Sandy Harbutt)\nWeek 10 – Dead End Drive-In (1986; dir. Brian Trenchard-Smith)

SUMMARY:Ozploitation Film Series Presents: Razorback
DESCRIPTION:There’s something about blasting the shit out of a razorback that brightens up my whole day. \nAs one would expect from a film about a car-sized boar rampaging through the outback with a bloodlust for humans\, Razorback is equal parts style\, surface\, and absurdity. Accordingly\, plot summaries fail to do justice to the sheer bloody loveliness of the highly artificial lighting (in particular\, the dead of night in the outback has never looked so neon blue) and gratuitous camera movements that appear to be straight out of an early Duran Duran music video\, which is as apt given that this is indeed the narrative feature-length film debut of Russell Mulcahy\, the director of the bulk of said early Duran Duran music videos. Come for the killer boar\, stay for the cinematography. Not to be missed! \nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing exploitation films from Australia each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends.
