From Academy Award-winning costumes from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to the intricate miniature sets of Blade Runner 2049, and concept art from Cyberpunk 2077 and The Creator, the collection highlights the creativity and vision of some of the industry’s most innovative minds.
Björk’s dreamlike dress and headpiece from The Gate are among the standout pieces, accompanied by works from artist James Merry and director Andrew Thomas Huang.

Interactive zones invite visitors to design personalised posters, which are showcased through projections on departure, adding a creative touch to the visit.
The exhibition also features new moving image commissions, including Hannah Brontë’s Birth of Dawn, which reflects on the cycles of life, and Liam Young’s After the End, a narrative imagining a future where fossil fuels are banned, and communities rebuild a rewilded Earth.
Who is it for?
The exhibition is suitable for all ages but is best enjoyed by visitors aged 10 and up, as it includes complex themes that can spark meaningful conversations. Family-friendly discussion prompts are available to guide younger attendees through the experience.
Accessibility
ACMI offers access services to ensure all visitors can fully enjoy the exhibition, making it a welcoming space for everyone.
Whether you are a movie buff, a fan of costume design, or simply curious about the role of creativity in imagining the future, The Future & Other Fictions is a thought-provoking and visually stunning experience.
