MIAF 2025 - International Competition Program #3: Hi-Fi Design

The International Competition Programs are the backbone of the entire MIAF mission. Drawn from more than 2,300 submissions they showcase the best, most imaginative animating talent on the planet in a series of programs in which the only rule is diversity. And because it is MIAF’s 25th anniversary, we will kick off each program with a very special “look-back” film from the MIAF vault that highlights a special moment in our history.

This screening kicks off with a couple of utterly charming films that could just as easily fit into a great kids program with some others that weave in a selection of works that dramatically and powerful interrogate the eye-popping intersections of design aesthetics and animation techniques…. two artforms that share a lot of DNA.

This session is classified: Unclassified (M) Mature, not recommended for viewers under 15 years.

Please note that Backlot is NOT fully accessible. There are stairs with handrails, but no lift to the second floor where the cinema is located.
