Absurdist Animation: From Long Head to Lesbian Space Princess

Prepare for a wild ride through the weird, wonderful, and wacky world of absurdist animation! Featuring AACTA Award Nominee Millie Holten (Descent), the mastermind behind Long Head (yes, the one with over 4M TikTok views and a love for chaos), and Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese, the brilliant duo behind Lesbian Space Princess, the epic animated feature taking audiences on a "gay-lactic" adventure. This panel unpacks the absurd, the inclusive, and the boundary-breaking as these creators share how their unique visions—from viral TikTok mischief to groundbreaking feature films—are redefining animation. Come for the laughs, stay for the insights, and leave with your creative inspiration levels off the charts!
