ACMI presents SCORSESE

From Taxi Driver and Goodfellas to The Age of Innocence and The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese's intense and exhilarating films define him as one of the most influential directors of our time. Now the first exhibition celebrating the indelible cinematic legacy of the prolific and passionate auteur comes to Melbourne's ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image).

Opening 26 May 2016, SCORSESE explores the breadth of Martin Scorsese's work, from his early experimental beginnings through to his award-winning feature films, working methods and key creative collaborations, as well as his personal motivations and passions, offering insight into Scorsese's career as an unparalleled screen stylist and a tireless champion of cinema. Curated by the Deutsche Kinemathek - Museum for Film and Television, Berlin, the exhibition, which draws on the riches of Scorsese's personal collection and recollections, demonstrates a relentless and accelerating work ethic over almost six decades with no signs of slowing down.

Announcing the exhibition's only Australian stop, ACMI Director and CEO, Katrina Sedgwick said: 'It's an honour to be taking audiences on a ride through some of the most exhilarating filmmaking of all time in SCORSESE. Scorsese's passion for the moving image spans feature film, documentary and television, along with a fervent commitment to the preservation and celebration of our cinematic history. When the opportunity arose to spotlight this creative master of cinema, we just knew it had to happen at ACMI as Australia's shrine to cinema."
