ACMI

ACMI is the world's foremost institution dedicated to moving images. It examines the art, culture, and history of film, television, video games, digital media, and other screen-based entertainment.

ACMI features an impressive collection of film and television memorabilia, including costumes, props, and other artifacts from iconic productions. It provides film enthusiasts with a rare opportunity to interact with props from their beloved films and television shows.

'Screen Worlds,' the permanent exhibition at ACMI, is a must-see. It examines the history and development of the moving image by showcasing a variety of screen-based experiences, interactive displays, and multimedia installations.

Each year, ACMI holds a contest called 'Screen It' to inspire young people to make their own short films, animations, and other forms of digital media. The competition gives budding filmmakers a chance to show off their skills and get their films seen.

ACMI now provides VR experiences. VR films, interactive exhibits, and other virtual experiences that push the limits of storytelling and technology are available to visitors.

Within the museum is ACMI X, a coworking facility. It provides a collaborative environment for creative professionals in the screen industry, such as filmmakers, digital media artists, and game developers.
