ect: Animation Festival - special teen programs in June<BR><BR><BR><BR>Atten=
tion: Marian Stoney<BR><BR><BR>Hi Marian<BR><BR>I'm writing to let you know=
that the Melbourne International Animation<BR>Festival 2007 is very excited=
to announce a special 'Teen Program' of<BR>festival highlights (for the ver=
y first time!), a 'Career's in<BR>Animation Forum' presented by Holmesglen I=
nstitute of TAFE, and a<BR>program of our favourite cult hero from the memor=
able 60's series,<BR>'Roger Ramjet'!<BR><BR>MIAF is one of the largest anima=
tion festivals in the world and one of<BR>Melbourne's largest film events. I=
t runs 19-24 June at ACMI Cinemas,<BR>Australian Centre for the Moving Image=
in Federation Square, and shows<BR>some of the best current animated shorts=
from around the world as well<BR>as specially curated programs and retrospe=
ctives.<BR><BR>There has always been a major gap in our program, because mos=
t of the<BR>festival is unclassified. This means that only those folk over t=
he age<BR>of 18 can enjoy MIAF (except for the Kids Program which is really=
for<BR>the little kids), and this scenario has of course been extremely<BR>=
frustrating for our enthusiastic under 18 audience. That's why we're<BR>REAL=
LY thrilled to offer these 3 programs!<BR><BR>We would greatly appreciate yo=
ur help with distributing the following<BR>information to your students, fri=
ends and colleagues.<BR><BR>You can also download a colour flyer from the we=
bsite at:<BR><A href=3D"http://www.miaf.net/2007/teen07.pdf">http://www.miaf=
.net/2007/teen07.pdf</A> (it's about 700kb in size), or to<BR>check out the=
whole festival, please visit www.miaf.net.<BR><BR>Tickets can be purchased=
through ACMI Box Office:<BR>In person: Australian Centre for the Moving Ima=
ge, Federation Square,<BR>Flinders Street, Melbourne<BR>Phone: 03 8663 2583,=

sglen Institute of TAFE<BR>Thursday 21 June @ 5.15pm<BR>Tickets only $5.00<B=
R><BR>This year for the first time, MIAF launches a program of films drawn<B=
R>from the main competition to show specially to a High School age<BR>audien=
ce. It's a pretty serious bummer that you guys can't get into<BR>most of the=
festival (coz of weird laws) but we've bent the rules a<BR>bit this time an=
d here's a few festival highlights we hope you'll enjoy!<BR><BR>------------=

t to get the right start!<BR><BR>After the success of this forum in MIAF las=
t year, the Animation<BR>Careers Forum returns and will again present a pane=
l of experienced<BR>animation industry and education representatives. The Fo=
rum will<BR>provide an overview of what the animation industry is looking fo=
r in<BR>graduates and the courses available with the key education providers=
<BR>in this field, to get you started in this dynamic industry.<BR><BR>The '=
Careers in Animation Forum' will be a general discussion amongst<BR>panellis=
ts and the audience about the animation industry including job<BR>opportunit=
ies, realistic salary expectations and how to get your foot<BR>in the door.=

------------<BR><BR>'Roger Ramjet'<BR>Wednesday 20 June @ 9.00pm<BR>Sunday 2=
4 June @ 4.15pm (repeat screening)<BR>Tickets: Full $14, Conc $11<BR><BR>Leg=
endary! Simple as that!<BR><BR>Coming as it did out of the 60's, it was prob=
ably a bit of a shot at<BR>the 'Top Guns' of the era, those jet fuelled ego=
baskets who were<BR>household names in their day and who promised to share=
with America<BR>the slipstreams their sleek jet planes and rockets were cre=
ating in<BR>the national psyche.<BR><BR>As a kind of cojoined parody/homage=
figure, Roger Ramjet has stood the<BR>test of time. Every aspect of these e=
pisodes murmur and scream<BR>'classic'.<BR><BR>Sparsely but brilliantly draw=
n, cheesey but bitingly well written and<BR>with voice talent that is over t=
he top and spot on in terms of<BR>capturing the various nuances of the work,=
these Roger Ramjet episodes<BR>show us how its done.<BR><BR>With 120 episod=
es to choose from, it was always going to be fun<BR>selecting this line-up.=
The next best fun is to come along and see<BR>which ones we picked.<BR><BR>=
