VISITING ACMI
Your safety is important to us. Before you visit, please read ACMI’s and The Capitol’s full COVID-19 safety information to find out more about their COVIDSafe visit guidelines.
The Melbourne Cinémathèque screens films across the full history of cinema, from its earliest beginnings to the present day, from multifarious cultural, social and political perspectives. The beliefs and attitudes expressed within specific films may not reflect those of our present-day society and should be viewed through an appreciation of evolving cultural standards.
In extreme cases of confronting material, the Melbourne Cinémathèque will aim to communicate content advice but, due to the organisation often not being able to carefully check films before programming or their arrival in Australia, we can only provide provisional content advice and encourage members to seek information about individual titles where necessary. If patrons are concerned about the content of films being screened, we strongly recommend using databases such as UnconsentingMedia.org and the IMDb.com Parents Guide to research advice that is specific to their requirements.
Articles on many films in the program can be found in CTEQ Annotations on Film, online at www.sensesofcinema.com.
