Pretty much what it says on the can – a compendium
of the strangest or funniest (not always the same thing) films drawn
from the 2000+ submissions we received. Expect smatterings of mindless
violence, intriguing alternative views of the world, a few gutbusters
and a visual overload or two. A MIAF tradition nowadays and a reminder
– if one is needed – that animation knows no imaginative
boundaries! |

I
Live In The Woods
Max Winston
USA, 2007, 3'45
It has to be every crazed hillbilly’s
dream to kill all the cuddly animals with his bare hands. But what

powerful, this is probably not the film for you.

Fantasie In Bubblewrap
Arthur Metcalf

Other

A most peculiar collection of arms, legs,
heads, kites, tanks, trucks and trolleys. |

Turducken

What do you get when you stuff a chicken
into a duck into a turkey? “Three birds, One Hell Of A Detective”,
