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. |

Nothing Happened Today | Reka
Gacs
London’s Royal College of Art animation
department has been doing what they do best for 25 years –
where does the time go?! There hasn’t been a year that MIAF
hasn’t happily played a healthy number of RCA films in competition
and with the grand ‘Three-Oh’ ticking over we decided
it was time to do a stock-take on the hundreds of films that have
been created there. But where to begin? In true MIAF style we went
straight to the top – that would be Joan Ashworth, Professor
and Head of Animation at RCA. Despite being nearly an hour late
(a classic London distance calculation misfire common to us simple
country folk not savvy to the ways of the big city) we were gifted
a collection of RCA’s ‘best’ 100 films. This is
now one of our most treasured possessions and the temptation was
to leave immediately before they changed their minds and asked for
them back. From that staggering collection of animated wonderfulness
comes this tribute to 25 years of outstanding animation craft. Giving
the tribute a certain symmetry is a program featuring a collection
of films drawn entirely from the RCA’s 2010 graduating class,
which will be included in the Best of the Next
Graduate screenings. In the way these things often work out
at MIAF, the whole deal was nailed down over a roast chook in Estonia
… but that’s another story.
