ACMI - Australian Centre for the Moving Image

ACMI is Australia’s national museum of film, TV, video games, digital culture and art – at the heart of Melbourne in Fed Square.

Our museum is home to Australia’s premier moving image collection, spanning screen culture history and available to discover at our Australian Mediatheque. Visitors can explore our free, interactive Screen Worlds exhibition and an ever-changing program of world class exhibitions, including many Australian exclusives. Along with a packed calendar of talks and performances, workshops and school holiday programs, there’s always something new to see or do at ACMI.

All year round ACMI screens quality contemporary and classic films in our state-of-the-art cinemas. Grab a glass of wine or some cinema snacks from our Café & Bar, and head upstairs for the best independent Australian and international films for adults and families.

Immerse yourself in the ideas behind our exhibitions, events and cinema program, and the themes that underpin screen culture. 

ACMI is also the creative hub for many moving image artists at our co-working space ACMI X.
