- Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Lifecycle of Film takes place in the Swinburne Studio on Level 1.
ACMI has two entrances: one on Flinders Street, and the other in Fed Square.
The Flinders Street entrance is the recommended entrance as it is easily accessible via a wheelchair ramp. From here, you can take a lift to level 1. The Ground floor lift is located between Tickets & Information desk and the entrance to The Story of the Moving Image exhibition.
Once you reach level 1, you will be able to access bathrooms, the cafe and the Swinburne Studio.
- Can I purchase tickets at the door?
Due to the popularity and format of the event, we cannot guarantee that tickets will still be available on the day of the event.
In order to ensure you are able to secure your first preference tables, it is recommended that you book as far in advance as possible.
