List of Australian filmmakers screening in MIAF08

Immediately after the Australian Panorama screening, join the filmmakers in the festival Club to talk about animating in Australia.

The atmosphere is informal and relaxed. The aim is to get as many perspectives as possible on the local animation scene as it stands right now – the challenges, the opportunities, the path ahead.

A Forum Panel will get things underway. The panel will be made up of animators, producers and managers who are finding ways of taking their animating skills out into the ‘real world’ through such means as creating animated clips for viral marketing campaigns, commissioning & producing idents for a local TV channel and making one-off ads – all done without
sacrificing the creative core of their artform.

But discussion will likely range much wider than that and everybody will have a chance to have their say about what they saw in the Australian Panorama and how they think animation is travelling in Australia in 2008.
