Melbourne Planetarium is hosting a festival comprising entirely of films projected onto its dome

Hold onto your eyeballs – Scienceworks is hosting the latest edition of its captivating Dome Under Film Festival this February. For the fourth consecutive year, the festival will showcase new release fulldome films from around the world. 

Wondering what on earth a ‘fulldome film' is? Naturally, it’s a film that’s been specifically made to be screened on a planetarium’s huge domed ceiling. The Melbourne Planetarium dome stretches an impressive 16 metres with a state-of-the-art surround sound system, creating an AR-like experience. Now you know! 

The festival is the only one of its kind in Australia and the 26 films featured promise to be the cream of the crop, hailing from 13 countries. The weekend will be split into seven themed sessions, including kids films, "music to melt your mind", astronomy films, "mind blowing art" and "future visions".  

Tickets are $20 per session for adults, $17 for concession, $12 for children and $10-15 for members. Find out more and get tickets here
