Psychedelic Cinema

Open your mind this summer with the Psychedelic Cinema program at ACMI.

The series features a kaleidoscopic selection of countercultural classics from the 1960s and 70s like 2001: A Space Odyssey, El Topo and 3 Women, plus shorts by avant-garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger, experimental performance film, Dot Matrix by Melbourne filmmaker Richard Tuohy, and more.

Come along to turn on, tune in and drop out, man. It’ll be a trip.
