other collections
As well as the Lending Collection, ACMI holds over one thousand 16mm and 35mm feature films, including material formerly held by the French Embassy and Chinese Consultate, as well as a number of classic Russian features and other key works of world cinema.
Borrowing is restricted to educational institutions, cultural organisations, government departments, and community groups such as film societies, as many of the films in the collection cannot be replaced.

bookings
Clients can make bookings via the online catalogue or by mail, fax, email.
Bookings can be made up to 15 months in advance. The loan period is one day with a maximum of three days on request. For all bookings to be processed we require your client number and screening date (with two alternative dates should the first be unavailable. Specify 'first available' if you want the title to be despatched to you as soon as it becomes available).
After your booking request has been processed we will send you a confirmation notice. Please check this notice carefully to ensure correct consignment of films.
Please allow 10 working days notice between booking and screening dates. Bookings made with less than 10 working days notice will incur expedite charges.
extensions of loan
Availability permitting, extensions can be made either by mail, fax, email or telephone. Quote your client number, the order number, the title or catalogue number of the item being extended, and the new screening date. A fee of $2 per order applies to all extensions. Titles may only be extended for up to one week.
cancellations
Orders may be cancelled, in whole or in part, by mail, fax, email or telephone. Quote your client number, the order number, and the title or catalogue number. Please advise us of cancellations at least five days before despatch date as orders cannot be cancelled once they are despatched. A cancellation fee may apply.
