MIAF will screen a program of recent animation made
by women, hand-picked by members of Women in Film and Television
(Victoria) from over 200 films by women from around the world.
WIFT is a Melbourne institution
(and part of a global network) whose volunteers work tirelessly
to support and celebrate the work of women in the screen
based industries.
Highlights of the WIFT women’s animation screening
include:
• The funniest film of MIAF 2008 (Love Triangle, UK)
• An animated documentary about young women graffiti artists
in Sweden (Blue Karma Tiger, Sweden) and
• A hilarious reflection on women and ‘the change’
(Streetcar Named Perspire, USA).
The screening will be followed by a Forum and Q&A
session in the Festival Bar. Marcy Page and Melanie Coombs will
also be joined by Australian animator Annemarie Szeleczky whose
film ‘1956’ is a highlight of the WIFT program. Together
the women will answer audience questions and screen clips of their
recent work.
WIFT (Vic) aims to improve the status and representation
of women in screen-based industries and to facilitate the exchange
of information between members.

Enjoy a feast of dynamic women speakers in our
Women in Production Forum, downstairs in the Festival Club immediately
after the screening. Annemarie
Szeleczky, a Melbourne based Director, will screen a selection
of her works and provide some insight into her drawing and animation.
Annemarie will be followed by two Oscar winning Producers, our own
Mel Coombs of Harvie Crumpet fame, and our special MIAF
guest from the NFB in Canada, Marcy Page, who will showcase
segments of their work and discuss life at the top of the Producer
tree.
All our speakers are keen to answer questions, so bring along those
notebooks and fire away. Show your MIAF ticket stub from the WIFT
Screening for a free glass of wine at the festival bar and stay
as long as you like.
