Sigh... it's the final day of MIAF, but the good news is there's HEAPS of great programs to watch throughout the day and evening. So hot foot into ACMI to get your Sunday animation hit!

BIG news! The 8pm session of The Best of the Fest is SOLD OUT.
But you can still book your tickets for the repeat session at 10pm - a favourite alternative for many.
Head here to book online, or book in person at ACMI Tickets & Information.

Today is the day you can catch three of the International Programs back-to-back at 3.00pm, 4.30pm & 6.00pm. What better way to end the festival if you've been catching up on all the special sessions, or haven't had an opportunity to find out what all the fuss has been about this week.

Every year we curate a program focusing on a specific animating technique. This year – it’s cut-outs, and this fabulous colelction screens at 4.00pm. On one level, cut-out animation is a pretty easy technique to grasp. It’s one of the easiest techniques to teach to kids for example, but the level of complexity that masters of the form bring to it can breathe life in to what are nothing more than small pieces of cardboard. The technique has been a mainstay of many Russian and Eastern European animators, such as Yuru Norstein, whose graceful little characters have enchanted audiences for decades (his stunning classic film 'The Hedgehog In The Fog' screens in this program). This program mixes a collection of master works dating back to the 1940s (including Yuri Norstein, Norman McLaren, Jan Lenica & George Dunning) with a selection of recent works in competition.

We don’t show many features at MIAF. But this is Phil Mulloy!! His feature 'Good Bye MIster Christie' hits the screen at 5.30pm. His short films (particularly the Intolerance Trilogy) have been some of the most unique and acerbic inclusions in our programs and have won Best of Fest awards in years gone by. His films hold up a sort of pseudo-mirror that somehow reflects where we might be about to go. And they are made by a man in a hurry. These images burst from the screen in much the same way as they were probably thrown down on the page in the first place. They can be ugly and contradictory. For his feature, Phil has parked his brushes and plugged in a tablet. The Christies feel like ‘un-people’ and they live in a world where talk is cheap, friends aren’t really friends and nothing that anybody says seems definitive or important. To quote a certain Richard who may not want his name splashed across MIAF’s website … “one of the most accomplished pieces of quintessential freakery I’ve seen in a good long while”.
