Matinees

Celebrate cinema at a sensible hour with our thoughtfully curated line-up of films from Australia and around the world.

Join us in the cinema on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for our popular program of films spanning narrative features, documentaries and classics with new films every fortnight.

This Summer we are pairing masters of cinema alongside new voices working in cinema today.

To launch our Summer Matinees program we are presenting the Australian premiere of the the new digital restoration of Michelangelo Antonioni's modernist masterpiece La Notte. The film comes to ACMI direct from the Venice International Film festival where is received the Venezia Classici Award for best restoration. And in January, we celebrate who other masters of the artform in Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.

Throughout Summer we will also be presenting new films from some exciting voices across the international cinema landscape: Kelly O'Sullivan & Alex Thompson's Ghostlight, Jaydon Martin's Flathead, Constance Tsang's Blue Sun Palace and Robin Campillo's Red Island.
