In its latest major international exclusive exhibition, ACMI today announced the staging of Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood, an expansive exhibition showcasing an extraordinary man's life's work, his collaborations and personal art collection, and an amazing insight into a formative era of Hollywood.

In the 1960s, a new generation of Hollywood filmmakers changed the face of American cinema with the content, marketing, consumption and distribution of films revolutionised.

Creative control shifted from producers to directors, many of whom were young, film-school graduates with a passion for film history, art and the New Wave.
