SUMMARY:Abstract Showcase [2024]
DESCRIPTION:\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nThe International Competition Programs are the backbone of the entire MIAF mission. Drawn from more than 2,000 submissions they showcase the best, most imaginative animating talent on the planet in a series of programs in which the only rule is diversity.\n\n\n\nMIAF is one of the very few animation festivals in the world to devote an entire program to abstract and experimental animation. We do this because we believe that the tenets that underpin great abstract animation go to the very heart of what it is to create beautiful, frame by frame animated imagery; a form of animated artmaking with a history that reaches back to the earliest days of the animation.\n\n\n\nAlso – we do it because we love abstract animation!!\n\n\n\nThis Collage Life – Paul Fletcher\n\n\n\nThis Collage LifePaul FletcherAustralia, 7’10, 2024A feeling of living in a collage; so many layers of simultaneous events, influences and inspirations, sadness and joy.\n\n\n\nMind Over Mood – Ecem Mora\n\n\n\nMind Over MoodEcem MoraEstonia, 2’18, 2015Colour, shapes and weather.
