I caught the MIAF Executive Director Malcolm Turner on RRR while driving in to work and it revved me up for the kick-off for what is going to be an overload of animation this week at ACMI. The festival is flying in Academy Award winning animator Chris Landreth with his new film The Spine, they're breaking new ground with a selection of Sand Animation shorts and with 400 films you can be confident there will be plenty on offer to enjoy.

Listening to Malcolm run through it all was inspiring, which is a hell of thing on a Monday morning on the way into the office!

7 days, 400 films. Opening night is tonight @ 7pm....wow.
