Late Night Bizarre is a signature 18+ session at the Melbourne International Animation Festival 2026, showcasing the most provocative and diverse international animation shorts from over 2,450 submissions. Held on May 23, 2026, from 8:45 PM to 9:55 PM at Treasury Theatre, it features boundary-pushing works that challenge norms with themes involving animals, tender body parts, and sacred cows. As part of MIAF's International Competition Programs, this event highlights imaginative global talent in a late-night format known for its irreverent and sulphurous content. Restricted to adults 18 and over, it offers a unique dive into auteur animation's bolder side, with accessibility information available at the venue.
