Hold onto your eyeballs – Scienceworks is hosting the latest edition of its captivating Dome Under Film Festival this summer. For the fifth consecutive year, the festival will showcase new release fulldome films from around the world across. The program spans three days, from January 31 until February 2.
Wondering what on earth a ‘fulldome film' is? Naturally, it’s a film that’s been specifically made to be screened on a planetarium’s huge domed ceiling. The Melbourne Planetarium dome stretches an impressive 16 metres with a state-of-the-art surround sound system, creating an AR-like experience. Now you know!
The festival is the only one of its kind in Australia and the 32 films featured promise to be the cream of the crop, hailing from 15 countries. The weekend will be split into multiple themed sessions including ‘astronomy’, ‘mind blowing art’, ‘future visions’ and ‘family’.
Tickets are $20 per session for adults, $17 for concession, $12 for children and $10-15 for members. Find out more and get tickets here.
