One of our most popular and important programs.
Showcasing Australian animation is what MIAF loves to do best
and, as a result, it’s this program that we tour nationally
and internationally. The program will feature a collection of
the best, recently released Australian animated shorts and will
present local work in all of its diverse glory. Immediately after
the screening, you'll have an opportunity to be introduced to
the filmmakers who created some of these films, ask them about
their work and join in a discussion about animating in this wide,
brown land.
