One 80 Project

Have you been hoarding ideas for the next Great Australian Drama? Ever watched a soap on the TV and thought, I could do better than that? Making drama can be a tricky business, so if you’ve got ideas about what should be produced and how it should be directed then we want to hear it!

You don't need a huge amount of expertise; all it takes is one good idea, a willing crew, a bit of gear and some execution! The nation wide competition is open to anyone who has an idea for an hour long drama – submit your 180 second pilot and an accompanying treatment which will then be judged by an expert panel of industry specialists.

The latest from ACMI: Focus On Jim Henson

One of the best shows on television ever created is on show at ACMI now. Showcasing jim Henson's most valued treasure... THE MUPPETS!

Muppets(TM), Music and Magic! Jim Henson's Legacy is celebrated in a special season ranging from rarely screened experimental works to the pioneering puppetry of Sesame Street.

Fondly remembered for his charismatic characters who resided on that most famous of streets, and trod the boards of The Muppet Show, Jim Henson has had a profound effect on contemporary culture.

His fun-fur freakshows achieved global fame, but until recently his many incredible experimental works were rarely seen.

Henson's counter-culture sympathies informed all of his works and are mirrored in the work of animators who followed in his footsteps. We explore this legacy, and behind the curtain to see how his special brand of magic was created.

Focus on Jim Henson

Star wars - Robot Chicken

Old-school stop-motion animation and fast-paced satire are the hallmarks of this eclectic show created by Seth Green and Matt Senreich. Action figures find new life as players in frenetic sketch-comedy vignettes that skewer TV, movies, music and celebrity. It's television especially formulated for the Attention Deficit Disorder generation.

Wednesday 16 - Thursday 24 July 2008

"2008’s State of Design Festival program goes beyond the narrow definitions of design and reinterprets the impact design has on individuals, businesses, and communities across Melbourne, Victoria and the world.

Capitalising on the depth and scope of design talent available, Victoria’s design festival has something for everyone: design novices, professionals and even the uninitiated can get involved.

Experience lectures, exhibitions, walks, talks, shows, parties, moments, events – all offering conversations on design: what is it and what it means to us all."

Semi-Permanent

From the guys at Semi-Permanent:
"Your probably thinking one of two things right now. Either “Who or what exactly is Semi-Permanent?” or “Oh, it’s those Semi-Permanent guys, I’ve heard of them.” For the sake of this About page we are going to assume your part of the former, mainly to cover our arse and to make sure you get a good understanding of what the event is, even if you have already heard of us.

So, what is Semi-Permanent? To put it simply Semi-Permanent is a design event. It consists of a conference and side events which include exhibitions, competitions, workshops and parties. It’s a week long celebration of all things design. Graphic Design, Film, Art, Illustration, Web Design, Photography, Visual Effects, Animation, Graffiti, Motion Graphics, Stop Motion; all these things and more. Semi-Permanent explores the diverse and exciting design world bringing together exceptionally talented artists and designers to speak at the event."
