The Lost Sex Films Of Kings Cross

George Schwarz (1935-2021) and his wife Charis produced Australia's first theatrical hardcore sex films. Beginning in 1970 with an 8mm short called The Dream, George and Charis made erotic short films which were originally screened at the Sydney Filmmakers Co-op and at select international film festivals. Their 1974 film Sex Aids and How to Use Them pushed the boundaries of community standards and became the first hardcore sex film produced in Australia to be passed by the censors. Sex Aids screened nationwide, shocking and titillating audiences, whilst their follow-up, Well, My Dear! (1975) was refused classification and never screened until recently.
