Admission is restricted to 15+ except for Late Night Bizarre (18+) & Kids program (all ages) IMPORTANT: Film classification regulations in Australia require all films to either be formally classified OR restricted to an audience of either 15 years or 18 years of age and over, depending on the content of the program. Most festivals do not have the resources to formally classify their programs and it is for this reason alone that AIAF has a range of age restrictions.

Steps > Tochka > Japan Part 1 of our look at the current Japanese animation scene. CALF is a small collective of Japanese indie animators that decided to pool resources and take their work to the world under a single banner. It’s worked extremely well with CALF screenings of one kind or another in a vast array of festivals around the world in the last 18 months. And now it’s Wagga’s turn to check out this group of Japanese indie animation trendsetters.
