Get ready to strap yourselves in for a seven day blast of exceptional local and international animation in the 9th edition of the Melbourne International Animation Festival!

MIAF is one of the largest collections of independent animation gathered at any festival in the world, screening over 350 films in competitive, student, curated & retrospective programs. The festival aims to challenge and inspire audiences with thematic, visual and technical diversity from award winners, outstanding industry veterans and those wonderful newcomers who are exploring their talent on screen for the first time.

This will be your only opportunity in Australia to see such a comprehensive line-up of animated films - undoubtedly the most imaginative artform there is! Whether poetic, narrative driven, experimental, soley digital, comical, dramatic or inspired by the documentary form, MIAF's passion for showcasing outstanding works will culminate in a not to be missed celebration for filmmakers, lovers of animation and the general public alike.

Admission is restricted to an 18+ audience, except for special sessions designed for kids & teens. Please check our website for full details. 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.

Single Tickets: Full $14 Concession $11
Festival Pass: Full $80 Concession $65
Animated 101 Sessions: $5
Best of the Next: $5
Panorama Programs: $5

We've made a couple of changes to the format. As well as the monthly topical animation competition, we'll also be featuring rare and vintage animations, recently finished films made by you (films from outside Secret Handshake - animated please!) and it will all be hosted by Melbourne comic, James Hazelden.
There will also be the Wheel of Topics! Beer! Good times! Dodgy Prizes! Fame and Glory!

The topic for April is DINOSAURS. It all kicks off again April 28th at Loop. Mark it in your diaries and get animating!
