<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Not Quite Hollywood<\/a><\/strong> is a new documentary exploring the world of Australian exploitation cinema that began in the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

Directed by Mark Hartley<\/strong><\/a> it shows how a new generation of maverick filmmakers capitalised on the relaxing of censorship laws to create wilder films on smaller budgets.<\/p>\n

Whilst more refined directors like Peter Weir<\/a> achieved worldwide acclaim with films like Picnic At Hanging Rock<\/a>, more maverick directors and actors created a crazier breed of exploitation movie.<\/p>\n

Many of the titles were sloppily made, politically incorrect and outraged critcs but some also made money in their home country and abroad.<\/p>\n

One of the pleasing aspects of the documentary is Hartley’s irreverent approach, which allied to a huge amount of clips and interviews with the likes of\u00a0George Miller<\/a>,\u00a0Quentin Tarantino<\/a>,\u00a0Barry Humphries<\/a> and many others<\/a>, makes for a thoroughly entertaining examination of Australian film culture.<\/p>\n

I spoke with Mark recently about the film which is screening at the London Film Festvial this week.<\/p>\n
