A special preview of four of Australia’s newest interactive documentary works-in-the-making, proudly co-presented by Frame Documentary, MIFF and ACMI X.

Come meet a robotic vacuum cleaner on a journey of self-discovery, consult a cuttlefish oracle, become a whimbrel shorebird on its epic migratory journey or experience the ghostly chorus of sentient radios. In this showcase, four teams of creators bring their newest prototypes developed throughout the 2024 Frame Documentary Lab to audiences to test, play and provide feedback on their work.

Drawing from a variety of technologies – from AI to AR, holograms to the ubiquitous smartphone – the projects tap into some of our most urgent themes to explore the relationship between humanity, identity and technology today.
