Chronicle
Let down by its illogical “found footage” approach, this remains an impressively compelling ride, which has more in line with classic storytelling than current fads.
Man On A Ledge
While Worthington doesn’t quite match the talent of his top-notch co-stars, this admittedly implausible but impressively dynamic thriller is exciting stuff.
The Artist
Beautifully made, surprisingly fresh, and there’s no denying its charm, but ultimately, it’s a slight case of style over substance.
Martha Marcy May Marlene
Driven by Elizabeth Olsen’s mesmerising lead performance, this languid and unsettling story buries deep into your mind

Magnificent Animation in Melbourne
June 30, 2009 09:43
We're so pleased to announce that MIAF09 was undoubtedly a sensational success this year.
An enormous thank you to the filmmakers, our wonderful audience, Screen Australia, the ACMI crew, our other partners and sponsors, the dedicated volunteers, festival buddies and those who couldn't make it but sent such warm wishes.
And of course... the most important part of all... the awards...
