Film classification regulations in Australia require all films to either be formally classified OR restricted to an audience of 18 years of age and over. Like most festivals, we do not have the resources to classify films, and it is for this reason alone that we are not able to admit any person under the age of 18 years to the main MIAF screenings.

friday 25 june, 6.00pm - repeat screening

Admission age: 18+
(Films in competition)
Festival Passes not available online.
 

Programs of the best recently released films selected from 2400+ entries received from all over the world. The MIAF International Competition screenings are the backbone of the festival line-up and your up-to-date snapshot of the incredibly diverse, eclectic and vibrant independent animation scene.

In addition to 7 ‘open’ International Competition screenings, there will also be programs in competition that focus specifically on Australian talent, the digital community, the purely abstract, long form, picks from SIGGRAPH 2009, the incredible technique of direct to film or 'scratch' animation, and of course, the cult program Late Night Bizarre.

Tad's Nest
Petra Freeman
UK, 2009, 4'45
An ideal Opening Film! A gorgeously crafted paint-on-glass work, which takes us on an intriguing journey to that oddest of all little places where memories are invented.
Make-Down
Maurice Hubner
Germany, 2009, 3'45
One face, many visages. A galloping parade of audacious masks.
Magic Cube And Ping-Pong
Lei Le i
China, 2009, 4'15

A lost ping-pong ball in the city of Magic Cube turns out to be a curious path to love for the most beautiful Magic Cubian of them all.
Tom n Jerry
Jin Sung Choi
South Korea, 2009, 11'45
Tom and Jerry get caught up in the pointless insanity of a modern airport.
The Bellows March
Eric Dyer
USA, 2009, 5'00
Shot in glorious Cinetrope! A brilliantly crafted bridge between digital and physical animation processes.
Insano Jazz
Helio Coelho
Brazil, 2009, 5'00
Colourful sound, joyfully noisey colour. The perfect intersection of the world's two finest artforms.
Anna Blume
Vessela Dantcheva
Germany, 2009, 9'15
An absolutely eye-popping animated version of the absurdist poem “An Anna Blume”, by Dadaist poet Kurt Schwitters, all done in super-bold, consciousness-expanding black, white and red.
The Man In The Blue Gordini
Jean-Christophe Lie
France, 2009, 10'00
All a superhero needs is his turf, his mask and some decent wheels. Even pants aren't essential.
Red-end And The Seemingly Symbiotic Society
Robin Noorda, Bethany de Forest
Holland, 2009, 14'45
The sheer scale of this production has to be seen to be believed. A bizarre, marching army of gluttonous insects overrun their environment.
Wings And Oars
Vladimir Leschiov
Latvia, 2009, 5'45
We loved this film so much, we bought our own copy just to make sure we could show it. A former pilot looks back over his life: the earth, the sky, the women - everything that took place on the journey from an airstrip to an abandoned boathouse.
