The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is a state-of-the-art facility purpose-built for the preservation, exhibition and promotion of Victorian, Australian and International screen content in all forms. It is located in Federation Square, in Melbourne, Australia. During the 2013-14 financial year, 1.3 million people visited the ACMI, the second-highest attendance of any gallery or museum in Australia, with only the nearby National Gallery of Victoria attracting more, but with two sites.〔 ==History== The ACMI started life as the State Film Centre of Victoria in 1946.〔(ACMI ) ''About Us''.

Retrieved 28 February 2015.〕 In the 1950s, the State Film Centre was involved in producing a number of projects for television, then a new medium in Australia. It also played a role as an archive of Australian films, such as ''The Sentimental Bloke'' (1919) and ''On Our Selection'' (1920).〔〔 During the 1960s, the State Film Centre provided advice on film treatments, production, scripts and distribution outlets to local filmmakers. In 1969, the centre assumed management of the newly constructed State Film Theatre, providing a facility for exhibiting material not screened in commercial cinemas.〔〔 In the 1970s, the centre began acquiring examples of student films as well as those made by the newly vibrant Australian film industry, such as ''Homesdale'' (1971) by Peter Weir, ''Stork'' (1971) and ''Alvin Purple'' (1973) by Tim Burstall, and ''The Devil's Playground'' (1976) by Fred Schepisi.〔〔 In 1988, the State Film Centre Education Program was set up. The program provided screenings for VCE students, based on core texts, and in-service days for their teachers.〔〔 In 1993, a Victorian state government report reaffirmed the viability of a proposal for an Australian Centre for the Moving Image. In July 1997, following an open, international and two-stage design competition, Lab Architecture Studio (based in London at the time), in association with their joint venture partners, Bates Smart architects, was announced as the winner. Federation Square was to be a new civic space, built above the Jolimont railyards, to mark the celebration of Australia's Centenary of Federation.〔〔 On 1 January 2002, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image was officially established by the Film Act 2001 (Victoria). The first stage was opened in October, with two exhibitions, ''Deep Space: Sensation & Immersion'' and ''Ngarinyin Pathways Dulwan'', running in ACMI's Screen Gallery. A few weeks later, the ACMI Cinemas officially opened.〔〔 In September 2009, Mediatheque and the Screen Worlds gallery opened. The ''Screen Worlds'' exhibition was opened by Cate Blanchett, who loaned her Oscar for best supporting actress for her part as Katharine Hepburn in ''The Aviator''.〔 ''Screen Worlds: The Story of Film, Television and Digital Culture'' is a free and permanent exhibition space constructed to educate the public about the moving image, a museum about moving pictures.〔 ''Mediatheque'' is an architecturally designed space with 12 viewing booths, like mini-lounge rooms, where people can drop in and watch films, television clips, and new media and artworks from ACMI's collection.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Australian Centre for the Moving Image」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
