Journey through the fact and fiction of space exploration from Fritz Lang to the moon landing, to Star Trek and Avatar.
ACMI presents the world premiere of Star Voyager: Exploring Space on Screen, a major exhibition charting the history and future of space exploration as experienced through the moving image.
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.
Just announced: A Mission Specialist and Flight Engineer on the recently returned final NASA Space Shuttle Mission
Atlantis (July 2011), Rex Walheim will be the special guest of honour at the opening of Star Voyager.
While in Australia, Rex will take part in a series of events including
In Conversation with Astronaut Rex Walheim. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.
