Past conferences

Animated Dialogues 2007, held in Melbourne, Australia from June 17-19, created the opportunity for university scholars as well as industry professionals to exchange their critical perspectives on a wide array of animation topics shaped by their cross-disciplinary interests.

This three-day conference, hosted by Monash University and the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne University, attracted both national and international animation scholars from the UK, Canada, Japan and New Zealand to the campus. Sponsored by Monash, Murdoch, Melbourne, RMIT and Deakin Universities together with the Society for Animation Studies, it was organised in collaboration with the Melbourne International Animation Festival.

Animated Dialogues 2007 made a significant contribution to the development of international scholarly discourse in the field of animation studies and provided excellent networking opportunities for both academics and industry professionals.
