text: 'We were glad it was free but sadly we had to pay $9 parking but interesting for about 30 minutes.
Sadly a school was using the theatre, maybe that is where the history of motion and sound in Australia wouldve been explained to us otherwise there wasnt anything .
The art deco Building is the highlight.'

text: 'The NFSA is located in a beautiful building that shows off the history of Australian film and television. Despite the size and beauty of the NFSA there isn''t actually a huge amount to see or do. The best part is you can spend probably 5-10 minutes in the archive (pictured) looking at some really interesting artefacts and read their history. Otherwise there''s the old and new theatres that play various films/documentaries on related topics but you''d need to check the times if you want to enjoy them in full.
It''s great that entry is free and the staff I met were all super friendly and helpful with any questions I had.
It''s perfect for a quick drop in, but don''t plan your whole day around it.'

What a beautiful building, amazing atmosphere. I could have spent a lot more time just examining the details in the building and its history from its'' former life.
The current displays are super fun, the library room in particular.
As for Inferno - a provactive, beautiful, experience. I am still processing and will go back again. I recommend immersing yourself in this experience while it is on.'

description: "The NFSAs mission is to collect, preserve and share Australias vibrant and diverse audiovisual culture as embodied by our evolving collection - reflecting who we were, who we are, and who we want to be. \n\nThe NFSA acknowledges Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.\n\nThe NFSA is an archive whose purpose is to collect, preserve and share Australias historical and evolving audiovisual culture. Certain records contain language or depictions that may be offensive and are in the process of review. The NFSA recognises these are problematic and are not representative of the organisations views.\n\nThis YouTube channel presents full titles from the Film Australia Collection of government-produced documentaries and programs, as well as a selection from the NFSA Collection.\n\nLegal notices: https://bit.ly/NFSALegalNotices"
