MIAF13 is going to be a whopping eleven day celebratory feast of forums and over 400 of the best recently released, historical and retrospective animation from around the world. Did you hear us?... ELEVEN DAYS!!

As a part of MIAF13, we'll be launching RENDER: a 2 day animation conference and a jam packed CG symposium - and introducing a host of special guests, including master animator Koji Yamamura and Canadian indie animator extraordinaire Patrick Jenkins. Then of course there's our annual promise to showcase award winners, outstanding industry veterans, inspiring independents, studios and newcomers. So get planning for the biggest festival to date! June at ACMI will promise fearlessly uncompromising programs to inspire and challenge, and will undoubtedly become the centre of the animation universe!!
