	Important Admission is restricted to 18+ Except for: Careers in Animation Forum Kids Program Kids Club: Dog Star in the Club Felix the Cat 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.

Admission age: 18+ (Films in competition)

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.
