melbourne international animation festival 2004

Highlights of the 4th Melbourne International Animation Festival include two programs showcasing the absolutely unique (and sometimes truly bizarre) films from Estonia. Alexander Alexieff's painstakingly intricate pinscreen masterpieces leave audiences awestruck, and a program of work by John Kricfalusi (Ren And Stimpy) reveal one of the strangest imaginations around. Add to this an eclectic collection of Animated Documentaries, great low-cost programs of kids animations, and the ever-popular Best of the Festival, and you have what has truly become one of Australia's great film festivals.

The Melbourne International Animation Festival is funded by the Australian Film Commission and the City of Melbourne and supported by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.
