Focus on Video

Technology and innovation are reliable markers of generational change. Technological advances can bring about seismic shifts to the ways we access art and information, and significant changes to our collective outlooks. If television defined the baby boomers and the internet defined millennials, then video must surely have defined Generation X.

This summer ACMI are celebrating video: its cultural impact, the video stores that became social hubs and the gloriously grainy aesthetic of video. And what more appropriate place to celebrate video than ACMI, which holds the largest VHS and DVD collection in the state.

Head to ACMI cinema as they give hi-def the flick and press play on video.
