Help screen legends live on

The icons that shaped culture, accessible for those who will shape the future.

ACMI now holds a precious John Clarke collection – acquired through a warm relationship with the Clarke family. But we lack the resources to digitise and share it.

Your donation before the 30 June 2026 will provide the vital funds to help this screen legend live on.

Help us preserve history and capture today's screen practice. Together we'll create an invaluable resource for the public and for ACMI programs.
Sarah Caldwell, ACMI Head of Registration and Collections

Donate today to help us share this collection

Clarke’s inimitable satire and many other Australian stories risk being lost to time. Stelarc, the groundbreaking artist, Sue Ford, feminist pioneer, unsung female auteurs of the '80s: a rich cultural storehouse!

Please add your gift before 30 June 2026 so screen history can enrich culture today.
