Consider yourself to be a creative person? Perhaps you’re an artist, writer, musician, media, marketer, entrepreneur or the like? If so, you’ll need to bookmark the The Vault (a bunch of creatively inclined folk) who hold monthly get-togethers to encourage other creative’s to share and generate ideas.

This month they’re showing a sneak peek screening of the Melbourne International Animation Festival (MIAF) with a Q&A with the festival director Malcolm Turner. Malcolm will be showcasing some personal highlights from the 2500 submissions he received this year. And if that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, two local animators featured in MIAF will be discussing their own experiences in animation within the Australian industry and talk about the roles of film festivals.

MIAF will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and has become one of the largest festivals within its industry globally. In June it will be showing more than 400 films in 40 programs over nine days at ACMI (Australian Centre for Moving Image). That’s A LOT of animation.
