The Australian Centre for the Moving Image opened it's new exhibition, "Star Voyager: exploring space on screen" today.
"From early films by Fritz Lang and Georges Méliès, through to footage of the 1969 moon landing and recent films such as the Alien series, Moon and Sunshine, the moving image has allowed us to experience what most of us can only dream of.
Combining scientific and documentary footage with feature films and video artwork, the Star Voyager exhibition celebrates an enduring fascination with space travel through the imaginations of artists, scientists and astronauts.
Enjoy a rare opportunity to see real NASA artefacts used in space plus film production materials, including costumes from Star Trek, Austin Powers and Total Recall. The exhibition also features an exciting new work, developed here in Melbourne, allowing visitors to explore the surface of Mars in 3D."
It's really terrific and I recommend it to all in melbourne or those travelling here.
(I'm biased because apart from loving the subject matter I'm an ACMI employee, but I do recommend it)
cheers
