Take part in a text-based role-playing game across our museum, inspired by cinema and ACMI's own exhibitions.
You’re a bright, buzzy, up-and-coming sci-fi auteur whose first film was a breakout festival hit. Now the studio’s eager to bankroll your second. You’ve got producers banging down your door and A-list actors lining up for the chance to work with you.
But what’s this new film about? What present-day topics will you explore through the lens of future worlds? Will this be another indie darling or a billion-dollar blockbuster? And will it rely on familiar cinematic tropes or will it offer audiences something fresh and new? It’s all up to you.
Drawing inspiration from ACMI’s The Story of the Moving Image and The Future & Other Fictions, INT. SPACESHIP - NIGHT is a multiple-choice, text-based role-playing game where every decision you make affects the final outcome: is this the critical and commercial triumph that solidifies your reputation as a sci-fi visionary? Or is it the well-intentioned flop that sends you straight to movie jail?
