Important Admission is restricted to 18+ (except for Careers in Animation Forum, Kids Program, Teen Programs and Animation 101 - #3) 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. Most festivals do not have the resources to do this 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.

thursday 19 June, 5.00pm acmi cinema 2 18+ Switzerland is home to a small but incredibly skilled creative animation community. Strong, surprisingly eccentric ideas and delight in utilising every imaginable technique are hallmarks of the Swiss animation scene and this program, which was selected after a visit to the Swiss animation festival, Fantoche, last year.
