Action! Film & War

Action! Film & War is a cinematic journey that features moving images, oral histories, artwork and objects that showcase film technology through the ages. The exhibition examines the use of film to document the experiences of Australian Defence Force personnel overseas, and showcase the role of film to promote, report on, and recreate events from our military history, from before the First World War until today.

Through expertly chosen objects, images and stories, the visitor is challenged to consider the tensions between fact and fiction in the moving image's quest to truthfully record history while also telling the best story.

The exhibition also explores feature film narratives which collectively share war stories with a breadth of audiences and frame how history is remembered.
