Important Admission is restricted to 18+ (except for Careers in Animation Forum, Kids Program, Teen Programs and Animation 101 - #3) Film classification regulations in Australia require all films to either be formally classified OR restricted to an audience of 18 years of age and over. Most festivals do not have the resources to do this and it is for this reason alone that we are not able to admit any person under the age of 18 years to the main MIAF screenings.

saturday 21 June, 1.30pm acmi cinema 1 18+ We are delighted to throw our annual Studio spotlight on Animose this year – a studio which has produced a collection of absolutely beautiful films reminding us that classic Russian styled animation is well and truly still alive and even thriving after the challenges of recent years. This program will warm the hearts of anybody who ever loved the films of Norstein, Khitruk and Bardin. And for those enjoying our focus on Puppet Animation, this program contains some films you definitely want to see.
