Even to a specialist, the Australian laws governing how our films are classified and where films can and cannot be shown and sold are confusing and arcane. This is further compounded by the fact that the law seems to be enforced when it serves the public relations interest of the local authorities.

While it’s not illegal to own or view X-rated material in one’s own home, it is illegal to sell DVDs of X-rated films anywhere but in Canberra and and the Northern Territory, which means that shops that make our films available to people in Queensland, or Victoria, or anywhere else are participating in a quiet act of civil disobedience; and while raids are rare, they do happen.

With that in mind, we’d like to take a moment to thank our Australian retailers. If you’re in Australia, and wondering whether or not DAMON AND HUNTER is worth all this fuss (or our other films), we encourage you to visit any of the below retailers. Some of them even offer our films for rent. For a few dollars you can watch DAMON AND HUNTER for yourself and make up your own mind.

When you go, please do tell them Tony sent you; and please do tell them he says thank you!
