The Past the Post racing exhibition is a collection of stories and memorabilia relating to the horse racing history of the Meander Valley. Over many years, racing at Deloraine has witnessed heroics, greatness, humour and tragedy. Come along to the exhibition and learn about this fascinating era. This exhibition seeks to celebrate the people and the horses whose legacy has helped shape our community. In a new world where cattle roam freely over the high country, rivers radiate across the landscape and early settlers travel, hunt and carve out an existence on the plains – the horse was king. It was inevitable that the stockmen and drovers would want to compete against each other. It began as an informal challenge, a race between two towns for bragging rights as to the best horse and rider. Before long the 'sport' evolved into a more structured race with primitive courses and townsfolk wagering on the outcome. Whether you know nothing of Deloraine's racing history or you have decades of memories, this exhibition invites you to connect with both its long and more recent past. Due to the popularity of this exhibition it will be extended until further notice.

ACMI's collection has a rich, 75-year history from its inception as the State Film Centre in 1946. Since its incarnation as ACMI in the early 2000s, the collection has expanded to include artworks and experimental film. ACMI now holds a significant archive of complex, time-based media works and videogames, as well as an ever-expanding repository of digitised content and born-digital material. This exhibition celebrates ACMI's vibrant collecting and commissioning program, showcasing five moving image artworks by Australian artists. Working in video offers artists the opportunity to use editing as a primary technique; mixing and matching elements from other films, or their own work, to tell new stories. By remixing or rearranging footage, these five artists build different rhythms and moods, creating hilarious juxtapositions or shedding new light on cultural cliches and presumed histories. All works featured in this exhibition demonstrate an irrepressible desire to bring deep themes to the surface with humour and an incredible attention to detail. Featuring: Kaylene Whiskey, Deborah Kelly, Zanny Begg, David Rosetzky, Christian Thompson
