ACMI Annual Appeal 2025

Keep ACMI the home of great cinema.

ACMI is where Melbourne comes together to celebrate the magic of cinema – from timeless classics and groundbreaking new films to international and independent festivals.

As we approach the end of the financial year, we’re asking for your support to help raise $50,000 to ensure ACMI remains a hub for film culture in Melbourne. Your tax-deductible donation will help us:

  • upgrade equipment to deliver the highest quality cinema experience
  • train the next generation of cinema projectionists
  • enrich our film program, including Cinema 3
  • keep ticket prices affordable and accessible.

At ACMI, we celebrate cinema from around the world by showcasing films in both original celluloid and new restored digital formats. Your tax-deductible donation helps train cinema technicians in film projection, preserving this art for future generations.

We’re proud to be the home for a variety of festivals, film clubs and educational screenings that fill Melbourne’s cultural calendar each year, from the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MICF), Melbourne Cinémathèque and a range of other international film festivals. Your support empowers us to continue hosting these events with state-of-the-art equipment for the highest quality cinema experience.

Be part of ACMI’s story. If you’re in a position to do so, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support our 2025 annual appeal.

Help us continue to enrich our film program in our cinemas and our online platform, Cinema 3, with the best and most inspiring films from Australia and around the world.
