Star Voyager:
Exploring Space on Screen

One small step for man, one giant leap for ACMI.

Journey through the fact and fiction of space exploration from Fritz Lang and the moon landing, to Star Trek and Avatar with the world premiere of Star Voyager: Exploring Space on Screen

From Georges Méliès’s A Trip to the Moon (1902), the first footage of a human on the moon in 1969, and recent films such as Duncan Jones’ Moon (2009) and James Cameron’s Avatar (2009), Star Voyager celebrates this imagination and exploration through over 100 years of the moving image.

This exhibition includes rare feature film and documentary footage, video artworks, television clips and animations as well as film ephemera including models, costumes and production materials, to reveal the relationship between the moving image and space – fact and fiction. The exhibition features a space-flown camera aboard NASA’s Apollo 12 mission and other space-flown objects, costumes and models from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Sunshine (2007) and Star Trek (1979) -  your opportunity to release your inner trekky!
