The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) is preparing to present Game Masters, a highly interactive videogame exhibition, as part of Melbourne Winter Masterpieces from 28 June 2012.

The Game Masters exhibition will be accompanied by a series of public, film and education programs, expected to appeal to people of all ages and abilities, from the budding game developer to smart phone users, children to the 'original' gamers. Peter Molyneux is the first international guest announced to attend the world premiere of the exhibition and will be participating in a series of public programs and industry events to be announced shortly. ACMI will soon announce a digital program concurrent to the exhibition, incorporating a suite of online resources and a newly commissioned mobile game.

As a major contribution to 21st Century moving image practice and entertainment, video games have been celebrated by ACMI in exhibitions, films and public programs. Game Masters is the much anticipated follow up to ACMI's successful 2008 Game On exhibition which explored the history of videogames and videogame genres from the 1960s to the present day.
