SBS anthology drama 'Erotic Stories' explores sex and intimacy with a cast of characters not typically written as a sexual lead on Australian screens; be it queer, gender-diverse, living with disability, middle-aged and/or people of colour.
SBS and Lingo Pictures upcoming series 'Erotic Stories' was named Production of the Year at the inaugural Screen Well Awards, held to coincide with World Mental Health Day.
The ABC and Matchbox Pictures drama 'House of Gods'; short-form rom-com series 'Videoland', from Melbourne production company Pikelet Pictures; the Lingo Pictures-produced NZ series 'After the Party', and the Queensland-shot 'Apples Never Fall' have been selected for this year’s Series Mania in France.
Madeleine Gottlieb talks directing SBS anthology 'Erotic Stories': "Each story is so unique to each writer, and in most cases, to their lived experience; it felt a little bit strange to impose a cohesive look or feel on the show. Instead, we came to the conclusion that the cohesive element is the eroticism."
Three nuns, each a generation apart, are living in seclusion on an isolated island. Forgotten by the rest of the world, the nuns live a harmonious life inside a dilapidated monastery, where they work, pray and knit while telling each other fairy tales, until one day an ambitious young priest, Father Ignatius, discovers the three Sisters when he arrives on a mission from the Church.
While Foxtel’s 'Lambs of God' may well represent the pinnacle of Sarah Lambert’s 20-year career, the screenwriter/producer’s workload and reputation are set to reach new heights over the next two years.
Lingo Pictures’ Foxtel-commissioned comedic drama 'Lambs of God' will have its world premiere in official competition at Series Mania next month.
Lingo Pictures’ 'Lambs of God' was warmly received by audiences and French critics.
