This playful short film set to music, is a tribute to the gems in the ACMI Collection. A remix of home movies and short works from the collection featuring elements on ‘how a movie is made’ and a split screen collage of moving images, interspersed with intertitles. The work was initially designed as part of a fundraising campaign.
ACMI gratefully acknowledge the following donors and creators in the compilation of this work: Australian Dried Fruits Association; John Richardson; Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office; Ivan Gaal; Wine Australia and Tony Agapitos.
