Frame + ACMI X Works-In-Progress Night
Presented by ACMI X & MIFF
When
Wed 21 Aug 2024
5.15–8pm
Join Frame Documentary to trial four interactive projects that merge non-fiction stories with creative technology.
Proudly co-presented by ACMI X, Frame Documentary and the Melbourne International Film Festival, this special Works-In-Progress Night will provide audiences with the chance to trial projects being developed through the 2024 Frame Documentary Lab.
Drawing from a variety of technologies from AI to AR, holograms to the ubiquitous smartphone, the projects draw on some of our most urgent themes to explore the relationship between humanity, identity and technology today.
The night will include a drink on arrival, presentations and play testing, followed by time for the audience to provide feedback.
ACMI is a wheelchair accessible space and there are accessible amenities at our venue. Learn more
