Summary: Seventeen talented Australian directors from diverse artistic disciplines each create a chapter of the hauntingly beautiful novel by multi award-winning author Tim Winton. The linking and overlapping stories explore the extraordinary turning points in ordinary people’s lives in a stunning portrait of a small coastal community. As characters face second thoughts and regret, relationships irretrievably alter, resolves are made or broken, and lives change direction forever. This watershed film reinterprets and re-imagines the work for the screen.

Summary: Before the internet, before the porn explosion – Deep Throat was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film, featuring an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried). Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard). As Linda Lovelace, she became an international sensation, fully inhabiting her new identity and becoming an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later she presented a contradictory narrative to this world, and herself as the survivor of a far darker story.
