ScreenSound Australia is the national screen and sound archive. It is housed in a wonderful old building that used to be used by the anatomy school of the Australian University. Along with vast collections of film, radio and TV archives, there is a large area set aside for public use - this is where you can view clips from films, TV and radio shows. They are shown continuously in small viewing areas, so people are free to wander at their leisure, spending as long or as little time in each area. Free film presentations are also given on weekends.
ScreenSound is open weekdays 9am to 5pm, and weekends 10am to 5pm. The courtyard cafe serves delightful snacks, and there is the obligatory gift shop for purchasing film memorabilia.
