The Story of the Moving Image learning resources
ACMI's centrepiece exhibition The Story of the Moving Image offers rich learning opportunities for students of all ages.
Student visitors can learn about screen culture and technologies across time, delve into the secrets of moving image production and engage in hands-on exploration and discovery.

And don't forget the ACMI lens -- which gives students the chance to save what they have made and collect information about what most interests them.
