Australian Centre for the Moving Image Reopens After Digital Overhaul


Australian Centre for the Moving Image Reopens After Digital Overhaul

The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne reopened on Wednesday after a $30.9 million (A$40 million) overhaul.
Before it closed the venue, which evolved from the State Film Centre of Victoria, was the second most visited museum in Australia and claimed to be the most visited film museum in the world. However, its central permanent exhibition Screen Worlds, which opened in 2009 was falling behind the digital times.
The planned revamp of Screen Worlds led in 2017 to a “holistic review of our museum,” Kyra Sedgwick, the ACMI’s director explained at the reopening ceremony. It closed its doors in May 2019 and renovation work continued through much of the coronavirus period. Sedgwick said that the full refit amounted to an architectural, technological and programmatical transformation.”

The new-look Australian Centre for the Moving Image has a sense of big ideas and far-reaching ambitions. These can be expressed on a small scale, however, in objects or features with a personal touch: something to activate with a gesture, to carry in your hand, to connect you in the moment to the past.
