IMPORTANT:
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 AIAF screenings.

the lot.

8 programs for a tiny $30.
AIAF selected
the 2009 programs from more than 2,000 submissions and 30 countries
- a remarkable response from filmmakers and producers right around
the world. The range of styles, genres and techniques is testament
to the vibrancy and relevance of creative animation. We’ve
worked hard to try and reflect that incredible diversity in our
final selections and to bring a true snapshot of the inspiring international
animation scene to the big screen, right here in Newcastle.
