ACMI is the premier excursion destination for 2021.
Bring your students to visit to our brand-new centrepiece exhibition, The Story of the Moving Image, between 10 am – 12 pm on Wednesdays or Thursdays in March 2021.
Discover how inventors, innovators and artists have been wielding light, splitting time and capturing motion in a technological revolution that continues today.
The exhibition's five sections explore the origins and future of cinema and the moving-image, production design and the creative process, Australian culture and stories, the rise of videogames, and how screens inform, influence and empower us.
But the stories really come to life in the interactive exhibits: students will get to animate shadows, craft optical toys, experiment with time, assemble film scenes and create soundscapes in a custom Foley studio.
Term 2 program and bookings open March 15 2021.
