THE TASTY BUST REUNION
Dir: Stephen McClean, Australia, 2000, Beta SP, 58 mins
This stylish and humorous film documents the events surrounding the 1994 Police raid on Tasty – a queer dance club in Melbourne. 463 patrons and staff were bailed up at gunpoint, strip searched and humiliated. This was an event so scandalous that even Premier Jeff Kennett was shocked. The clubbers, energetically led by Sally Gordon, later challenged the might of the Victoria state police force in an historic court case.
