Get exclusive access to the Blackmagic Design Media Preservation Lab at ACMI and view short films from the Collection.
As part of Open House Melbourne, we’re inviting you on a tour of our Media Preservation Lab – a rare opportunity to hear from ACMI’s expert conservators. Learn about our Collection and preservation activities, and get up close to a range of preservation stations inside the space and see how they safeguard our precious screen stories.
Screening
Discover local stories on screen with Moments in Time: Home Movies from the ACMI Collection and Loop (1973).
Captured across decades of home filmmaking. Moments in Time is a compilation of home movies from the ACMI Collection – glimpses of birthdays, beach days, backyard antics and quiet rituals. This evocative reel invites you to imagine the personal stories behind the frames, and reflects on how we record, remember and revisit the past.
Loop is a documentary about Melbourne’s Underground Rail Loop, its effect on the entire metropolitan railway system, and on the future of public transport in Melbourne.
