This riotous and massively ahead-of-its-time, intersectional queer-New Wave musical went on to greatly influence trans politics. Centred around a squalid Berlin burger joint and the ragtag group of multiracial Americans, of a range of gender identities and sexual persuasions, who work there, prodigious activist-filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim’s underground classic is equal parts Paul Morrissey-Andy Warhol, John Waters and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, with lashings of satirical Cold War intrigue, searing political commentary and regular demolitions of the fourth wall.

Transport

Accessibility

ACMI is located at Fed Square, Melbourne, on Flinders St between Swanston St and Russell St.
ACMI has two entrances: one on Flinders Street (look for the revolving door), and one at the top end of the Fed Square plaza.

ACMI has lifts at every level of the building.

Public Transport
Most of Melbourne’s trains and trams will take you to ACMI.
Our location at Fed Square sits opposite Flinders Street Station within Melbourne’s Free Tram Zone.

Bicycles
If you plan to cycle to ACMI, you can lock your bike to purpose-built bicycle racks installed around the perimeter of Fed Square, but you’ll need to bring your own lock. You can’t bring your bike into ACMI itself.

Paid parking is available at the Fed Square carpark, located on the Russell Street Extension or via the second entrance off Batman Ave. It's a 2 minute (200m) walk from Fed Square car park to ACMI.
There is also a Wilson Parking at 172/192 Flinders St, directly opposite our Flinders Street entrance.

Lifts
Level 1 – Cinemas access
There are two lifts located on Level 1. As you enter from Fed Square, one is around the corner on your right, as you pass the Tickets and Information Desk and approach the stairs. If you make a hard right towards the cafe and bar and the Level 1 toilets, you will see the lift. This is the best lift option to reach the Cinemas level (Level 2).

Wheelchairs
If you use a wheelchair you can access all our spaces.
If you need to borrow a wheelchair for use inside the museum, present your ID at one of our Tickets and Information Desks on arrival and we’ll organise one for you free of charge.

Guide Dogs and registered assistance animals are welcome throughout ACMI. But only registered animals.

Hearing loops
Free hearing devices are available for use in the ACMI Cinemas and Studios and can be borrowed on presentation of ID. Visit the Tickets and Information Desks on Level 1 or Ground Floor to arrange.
The devices come with headphones or connect with hearing aids via a neck loop. You can choose what you prefer.

Toilet Facilities
Toilets are located on Ground Floor and Level 1. We have wheelchair accessible toilets and gender neutral toilets on both levels.
Baby change facilities are available at the Flinders St (Ground Floor) and Fed Square (Level 1) entrances near the toilets.
