For anyone with more than a passing interest in cinema, the Melbourne Cinémathèque is an essential part of the year. For a measly amount, you get 11 months of films (every Wednesday from 7pm) at the fantastic ACMI cinemas (Australian Centre of the Moving Image) at Federation Square. The programme contains a mixture of films: great well-known classics, influential but forgotten films, old pop culture icons, new foreign releases, obscure avant-guard experiments... Something for the whole family!
They often now have seasonettes (mini seasons) of a particular director's work, so you can easily catch up on, say, 6-7 films of David Lynch over three weeks. Plus, if you keep your eyes open you can pick up the ACMI film calendars and see even more - for example they're having an Almodovar retrospective in a few weeks! I'm so excited I can hardly breathe...
