Make sure you take the time to see these screenings before the Office of Film and Literature bans them all.
Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF)
July 6th-16th
It‘s no surprise that the third annual Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) has embraced sex and themed this year‘s Festival “sexuality”. Sex has become synonymous with the underground, where individuals can seek out and explore their true sexual desires and fantasies whilst conventional society maintains its hypocritical and repressive mainstream attitudes.
John Holmes Feature
See the film that inspired the Hollywood block buster smash Boogie Nights. See the original Dirk Diggler in the movie that made him a household name and put his name ‘in neon lights, so powerful it explodes, a name that says ‘John Holmes’. A truly historic motion picture.

Perth’s Revelation Film FestivalJuly 13th-23rd
The Perth Revelation Film Festival is kicking off on the West Coast between the 13th to 23rd of July. Though not one of Australia’s biggest film festivals, it punches well above its weight with a whopping 23 Australian film premiers. It line up is one of the most dynamic array of exciting and fresh films seen yet. Definitely worth checking out. Here are a few examples of some of the films on show:
I Am a Sex Addict
Director: Caveh Zahedi (USA)
This autobiographical film follows Director Zahedi as he describes his life as a film maker and certified sex addict. The movie deals with his coming to grips with his compulsive condition and fetishes in a warm and funny way.

Fuck
Director: Steven Anderson (USA)
This brilliant documentary charts the history and use of one of the most universal, though commonly misunderstood words, whatever language you might speak. This documentary examines the many meanings of the most useful words via interviews with a variety of celebrities such as Billy Connolly (who else). Rapper Ice T’s description of the word as a sexual exclamation makes the ticket prize of this movie more than worth it alone.
Luna Leederville: June -Fri 14th & Sun 16th - 7:00PM.
Sydney Film Festival
Though the Sydney Film Festival has just come and gone, it marks yet another successful return of one of Australia’s largest and most successful film festivals. Here is a review of one of the stand out feature films:
Lie With Me
Director: Clement Virgo (Canada)
Lie With Me is not your classic tale of love and the happy ever after, it is a vigorous and erotically charged movie of sex and desire. The two protagonists seek nothing more in their relationship than to enjoy uncomplicated sex with no emotional ties. Offering far more than pure titillation, watching this movie is an exploration of the exhilaration of sexual freedom.
Brisbane International Film Festival
July 21th- August 13th
The Brisbane International Film Festival returns for its fifteenth year bigger and better than ever before with 300 films being screened over three weeks. The Festival will run from 21 July to 13 August, including the much anticipated Opening and Closing night films. Some Examples of the world class movies include:
Kidulthood
Director: Menjah Huda (UK)
With critics already drawing parallels to the cult classic Trainspotting, this UK hit is gritty, brutally honest and spiked with humour. Kidulthood depicts the tough, sometimes violent and sexually promiscuous lives of streetwise Londoners growing up fast in the school of hard knocks. Kidulthood is shot through with raw energy and features a block rocking beats soundtrack.
