David Lynch is collaborating not only with Werner Herzog in the near future, but also with the lost man of the avant-garde Alejandro Jodorowsky! *paramore*
I look forward to the likely metaphysical-suurealism that will result.
Also ACMI has announced the transformation of their lending library in 2009 with the elimination of paid membership and borrowing.
Instead, the service will be replaced with "a new resource centre at our Federation Square location, that will provide free genreal-public drop-in access to a wealth of Australian and International screen culture works."
I really hope that this enables greater access to the 16 and 35mm materials in the collection, because these really are the items that were difficult to access elsewhere. I really like any endeavors that will shift the resource from being something like an inner city video library into an actual resource. I am interested to see if and how they adapt library style viewing spaces into the Federation Square site.
The centre is also developing a free "major permanent exhibition that will chart the history and future of the moving image across all its forms - film, television, videogames and new media." Which hopefully will also reflect some of the more nostalgic technologies of pre-cinema from their earlier 'eyes, lies and illusions' exhibit.
