This year has secured amazing exclusives from more than 2,200 submissions from over 30 countries.The International Competition programs will give audiences a complete, up-to-date snapshot of the international creative animation scene. In addition are programs that focus on digital animating, puppet films and Australian made films. There will be Kids and High School aged-programs and even a “Late Night Bizarre” program for those whose tastes are on the extreme. There’s even a series of free talks and workshops given by filmmakers from all over Australia to provide a chance to learn more about how and why these films get made. We even have door-prizes including Adobe CS3 Production Premium, Autodesk Maya, Wacom and HP Products!Venue: Forum 6 Cinema
