MIAF10 Trailer by special guest steven woloshen
The Melbourne International Animation Festival's technique focus this year is Direct to Film/Scratch Animation, and our special guest Steven Woloshen (Canada) has been more than amazing by creating our trailer - all in the name of celebrating 10 big years of MIAF animation goodness. Oh yeah! Steven will introduce the technique focus program which he curated with MIAF Director Malcom Turner. It will showcase historical and contemporary films by the incredible filmmakers who have over time used this painstaking method to make uniquely engaging works.
