Australian animation turns up in festivals all over
the world and is recognised for its diversity and inventiveness.
This program showcases that diversity – every technique, genre
and style imaginable; classic tales, documentaries, abstract and
comedies. From here, this collection will spend the next few months
touring Australia and the world.

Monkeynaut
Snooze Animation
2007, 7’15
It takes a special monkey to take on these
sorts of missions. A monkey with the right stuff; a monkey that

And which button not to push – oh yes, that’s important
too! |

Professor Pebbles
Pierce Davison
2006, 12’45
They say your 500th birthday is always

Is it his fault that he's a nice guy?
