ACMI - Australian Centre for the Moving Image

ACMI is an innovative, dynamic, performance-orientated cultural business. It is self-directed, though it falls within the Victorian public sector.

ACMI seeks to nurture an entrepreneurial team spirit delivering varied cultural, creative and performance aims. In an environment of hard working but passionate enthusiasm for our subject matter and audiences, ACMI aims to provide rich opportunities for staff and organisational interests to thrive.

We aim to expand our world-class position and unique voice in the arts through an agenda of cultural leadership, innovation, partnerships and audience reach and accessibility.

As a world-leading cultural centre, we provide audiences with diverse experiences that explore and shape the moving image in all its forms.

Our vision enables us to head in a clear direction and our values help us express our personality and define who we are and what we stand for.
