Loved it make sure you go into the talk about the old films and television. We had lovely lady Camilla who was very well versed and talked about the film clips dating back to 1896, loved the bandstand clip! Could spend a day there great work!

Our visit here was a great insight into the work that the archivists do to maintain Australia's rich film and sound history. We could easily have stayed longer and played more with the displays. Don't miss the shop - some great and unusual items are for sale.

But wait, this review is about the Archive isn't it? Well, the screenings here are a little different, but they have occasional festivals here (we were here for the Japanese one) which lend interest. And their store is quaint and well-laidout.

This place is disappointing, there really isn't much to see. It's one of these places that you whisper to who your travelling with and say "is this it?"

Arrived just in time for an hour free show of old movies and ads starting way back in 1907 with a "Ned Kelly" movie bits found under the floorboards of an old house! Went on with "Bandstand"clips and many Aussie relics, ( remembered a few too many for my liking!)

Spend an hour or two here - free. Close to the centre of the city, and interesting. Not huge but plenty to see.
