	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.


SUNDAY 20 june, 8.15pm acmi cinema 2 SATURDAY 26 june, 6.15pm - repeat screening acmi cinema 1
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.
	Peripetics zeitguised UK, 2009, 3'30 Peripetics – "the installation of an irreversible axis on a dynamic timeline". A film in six parts each entailing an imagination of different disoriented systems.
	Harmonix "The Beatles: Rock Band” Intro Cinematic Pete Candeland UK, 2009, 2'30 Pretty amazing, man! A sumptuously created soaring trip through the life and times of The Beatles – a joyous mix of magical imagery and the latest CG animating techniques from one of the great British masters of the art.
	Slightly Fishy James Cunningham New Zealand, 2010, 3'00 A nightmarish habitat inversion pits a series of sea creatures against a man trying to make his way home.
	N.A.S.A. "A Volta" Alexei Tylevich USA, 2009, 4'30 Another day, another drug-deal gone wrong in this eye-popping fiesta of ultra-violence set in an 8-Bit isometric metropolis.
	Fly On The Window Nikita Diakur UK, 2009, 7'15 It’s all a matter of perspective. A swooping, veering flight through a group of people who have little in common other than a common house-fly.
	What I Have Andrey Zhidkov Russia, 2009, 11'15 An eerie tale of intricately depicted isolation, this recounting of Borges’ story, “The Disk”, outlines the abstract fate of a woodcutter visited by a king.
	Masks Jerome Boulbes France, 2009, 7'45 An evocative ritual combat between two masks searching for their true face.
	Please Say Something David OReilly Germany, 2009, 10'00 One of the most talked about films of the last Ottawa festival. A troubled relationship between a Cat and Mouse is set in the distant future utlising an animation style that could be described as similarly futuristic.
	Logorama H5 France, 2009, 16'15 Academy Award-winner produced by Autour de Minuit. An over-marketed world built of logotypes. A dramatic taking of hostages by a corporate symbol gone rogue. A giant Californian earthquake. A shakey world built on simple symbols with complex connotations.
	4 Edouard Salier France, 2009, 16'30 Four letters, 400,000 possibilities, only one is real. The latest thought-provoking CG masterpiece from one of the world’s most accomplished and uncompromising CG animators. Edouard is MIAF's Sunday afternoon special guest. Click here for more details.
