While
ACMI is currently closed for redevelopment, there's no need for you to miss out on
Melbourne Cinémathèque . Responding to a changing world and to help curb the spread of
COVID-19 , all programs at Treasure Theatre and The Capitol have been postponed until further notice. Though
ACMI live public events have been
postponed or cancelled , you can still enjoy
Virtual Cinémathèque from the comfort of your own home in times of self-isolation. Be sure to be following ACMI's
Twitter ,
Facebook and
Instagram , or Melbourne Cinémathèque's
Facebook and
Twitter .
ACMI is running virtual programs for movie lovers, moving image fans, and screen industries. Stepping up to keep the film community going in a virtual sense,
FREE accessible workshops are available to support peers and to keep them professionally engaged and connected. It also allows you to stay entertained and feel connected while we navigate these strange days.
Virtual Cinémathèque
Virtual Cinémathèque will run
EVERY TUESDAY with
details released weekly via
ACMI &
Melbourne Cinémathèque social media. Doing their best to choose from freely available and accessible platforms, you too can recreate the communal experience of watching as a collection via a
FREE PROGRAM called
Metastream . It allows you to invite your friends to watch at the same time, from your respective homes. Inspired by the American initiative,
Remote Viewing Cinema, to get the best out of the ACMI experience at home, get your popcorn ready as each week they share their curatorial insight into different films, artworks, TV series or videogames, as well as where you can find them online.
First up is one from the archives; their 2015 film season
ROMA! The Screen Life of the Eternal City . It looks as far back as the 1950s to films by Fellini, Antonioni, Pasolini and Bolognini, and to more recent award-winning Italian auteurs including Gianfranco Rosi and Paolo Sorrentino, to explore nostalgic and contemporary cinematic visions of Rome. The Virtual Cinémathèque won't replicate seasons slated for the 2020 Melbourne Cinémathèque but wherever possible it'll try to stick to the weekly calendar format of double bills that showcase classic and contemporary films on specific directors, performers or a thematic.
Workshops

Make it Monthly
The
Make it Monthly talks event series has also moved online and is hosted via live-stream on the
ACMI YouTube page. It touches on making a living from creating online content. It questions if creating online content is purely an artistic pursuit? A platform for getting your voice heard? Or can it be your calling card, and, therefore, your passage to making a viable income?
Check it out on Thursday 2 April 2020 from 6pm to 7pm. This month's
Make It Monthly features an extraordinary panel of producers from all platforms and at various stages of solving this dilemma
on the first Thursday of every month. They'll share their secrets and it could make you laugh, raise your eyebrows and inspire you. Make It Monthly is a collaborative venture between AFTRS, ACMI and Media Mentors Australia.
