Reviews for National Film and Sound Archive

Wonderful friendly and helpful staff who directed us to where everything was. Really well thought out display of physical archives, and excellent use of technology using tablets to describe each piece (some with accompanying sound/video clips). Taking the time to read/view each was a joy, and took away from the clutter you sometimes find in similar exhibits. Absolutely left us wanting more, but would happily return to see the next display.

Despite many visits to Canberra, this was our first visit here. Wonderful nostalgic display in the "library", which is well mounted and with excellent touch screen details. Some interesting docos. screening in the theatre room, wonderful art deco building and well worth allowing an hour or so to visit and see the place. No major exhibition at the time of our visit but I am told they do have some great exhibitions there too,

I am a pretty fussy cinema buff with quite high expectations around the sound quality, where the screen is positioned and the way the seating is tiered in a cinema so that you don’t have to see over people’s heads to see the screen. Whoever designed the cinema at NFSA is a total legend as it is honestly the best in terms of the above mentioned things that make going to the cinema a good experience for me. I love NFSA and would see any film there over any other cinema in Canberra, especially the other 2 in Canberra city. 10/10 experience for me and the pricing is very reasonable.

Wonderful Art Deco building with a good cafe. A great place to relax in the peaceful courtyard spaces. Intriguing displays... all for free

About an hour to look around. Pretty cool posters and artifacts. The building is very art deco
