The Melbourne International Animation Festival (MIAF) is one of the
largest animation festivals in the world. It usually screens 350+ films
each year in competitive, student, curated & retrospective programs. The
festival aims to challenge and inspire audiences with thematic, aesthetic
and technical diversity from award winners, outstanding industry veterans
and those wonderful newcomers who are exploring their talent on screen for
the very first time.

MIAF generates a smaller touring festival called the Australian
International Animation Festival, is the submissions base for UTS Sydney
International Animation Festival, London International Animation Festival
and provides specific programming advice to the New Zealand Film Festival.

When you submit your film to MIAF, your film is automatically considered
for each of these festivals although these other events will send you
separate and specific invitations if they wish to screen your film.

Entry is free and to be considered eligible, films should have been
completed AFTER 1 January 2007.

Submission deadline: 16 January
