ACMI (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image) is one of the finest cultural institutions in the nation, sitting in the heart of Melbourne's Federation Square. Over the summer months, ACMI is screening two curated film selections that celebrate some of the best films of 2022 and a series of films that represent and celebrate the season of summer.

Joining Andrew to discuss this catalogue of films is ACMI film curator Reece Godwin who talks about his personal favourite pick of the line-up of 22 films in the Best 22 of 2022 line-up, how the films were selected, and what the importance of experiencing films in a cinema is.
