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 24 june, 6.15pm cinema 1 (unclassified all ages) Ever heard of Mr Magoo? Gerald McBoing Boing? Howdy Doody Magic Hat? How about animators such as John Hubley, Robert “Bobe” Cannon, Steve Bosustow, Zack Schwartz, Dave Hilberman, Jules Engel, Paul Julian or Gene Deitch? If the answer is yes then you’ll really want to check our UPA programs. If no, then you HAVE to see them. UPA Pictures is an essential, elemental part of animation history. Born out of the bitter 1941 Disney strike, it brought together animators who believed in the power of art and who didn’t believe in the relentless realist approach to animation design that Disney comprehensively made his own. Together they took animation off on a whole new path creating enduring characters, thought-provoking subject matter, and a surprisingly diverse body of modern work along the way, often pushing the animation envelope. Tee Bosustow (son of UPA co-founder Steve Bosustow) has helped us curate these three sublime programs of classics, oddities and UPA essentials and will journey to MIAF to introduce them, giving us a first-hand insight into this dynamic chapter of animation history. Christopher Crumpet \| Robert Cannon THE UPA STYLE Prior to the arrival of UPA, realism was the overwhelming style employed in most animation. An entire cityscape could be depicted with a few jagged lines to give a sense of the buildings and a couple of crudely painted square blobs of colour to insinuate windows. UPA artists showed that making animated characters move didn’t necessarily take a lot more than a simply animated loop of legs choppily moving back and forth. In part they were a device to reduce costs and speed up production, but they were also a deliberate style choice. These innovations went on to infuse and revitalise almost every quarter of animation from the “golden age” of animated cinema shorts in the 1950’s and 1960’s right across the scale to the burgeoning eastern European animation scene, particularly at Zagreb Film. > http://tooninanimation.net/upapix/UPApix/Home.html Also see: > UPA 2: The Classics, Saturday 25 June, 7.30pm > UPA 3: Mister Magoo Collection, Saturday 25 June, 2.00pm
