wift
forum: women in production
friday 20, 7.30pm
Enjoy a feast of dynamic women speakers in our Women in Production
Forum in the Festival Club after the screening. Annemarie Szeleczky,
a Melbourne based Director, will screen a selection of her works
and provide some insight into her drawing and animation, followed
by two Oscar winning Producers, our own Mel Coombs of Harvie Crumpet
fame, and our special MIAF guest from the NFB in Canada, Marcy Page,
who will showcase segments of their work and discuss life at the
top of the Producer tree.
All our speakers are keen to answer
questions, so bring along those notebooks and fire away. Show your
MIAF ticket stub from the WIFT Screening for a free glass of wine
at the festival bar and stay as long as you like.

dog
star in the club & colouring comp
saturday 21, 12.30pm-3.30pm
Kids – come on into the Festival Club, grab a giant line drawing
of your favourite Dogstar character and colour it in. The first
100 Kids who complete their own picture even get to take home their
very own adorable ‘Hobart’ soft toy.
Up on
the screen you’ll be able to watch some of the best bits from
the Dogstar series and even little segments of unfinished programs
so you can see what it looks like while they’re still making
it.
“Dogstar” is one of the
best Kids TV animation shows you’ll find anywhere. Sophisticated
humour and extremely well developed characters are among its strengths.
It traces the adventures of the Clark family kids and their trusty
dog ‘Hobart’ who, along with every dog on earth, was
put on a giant space ark - the Dogstar - when humans decided to
go look for New Earth. Unfortunately the Dogstar seems to have gotten
lost and the Clark kids have borrowed Dad’s spaceship and
they’re on a mission to find Hobart.

australian
forum
saturday 21, 4.00pm
Immediately after the Australian Panorama
screening, join the filmmakers in the festival Club to talk about
animating in Australia.
The atmosphere is informal and relaxed.
The aim is to get as many perspectives as possible on the local
animation scene as it stands right now – the challenges, the
opportunities, the path ahead.
A Forum Panel will get things underway.
The panel will be made up of animators, producers and managers who
are finding ways of taking their animating skills out into the ‘real
world’ through such means as creating animated clips for viral
marketing campaigns, commissioning & producing idents for a
local TV channel and making one-off ads – all done without
sacrificing the creative core of their artform.
But discussion will likely range
much wider than that and everybody will have a chance to have their
say about what they saw in the Australian Panorama and how they
think animation is travelling in Australia in 2008.

Talk animation for one last time in the Club
After a marathon 7 days of amazing animation from around the world,
catching up with friends, making new ones and living on a questionable
diet as you skip from cinema to cinema, it's now time to have a
final drink and recount those memorable moments.
Last one standing, turn out the lights... |
