From Tuesday 27 December, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) will present an exclusive season of Being Elmo: A Puppeteers Journey (2011), a documentary about the man behind one of television's most loved characters.

From humble beginnings in Baltimore, to becoming one of the most well- known puppeteers of his generation, Kevin Clash is the voice, mind and heart of Sesame Street's furry red inhabitant, Elmo.
