From the Fest: Making of In Your Dreams

Available: Friday 14 Nov - Sunday 30 Nov 2025

We go behind the scenes of the latest animated feature film from Netflix - In Your Dreams. Join former Pixar talent Director Alex Woo in conversation with Festival Director Steve Henderson as we step into the wildly absurd world of a snarky stuffed giraffes, zombie breakfast foods and the queen of nightmares herself, and hear how the story of Stevie and her brother Elliot navigating an imagination fueled landscape in search of the Sandman came to be. Filled with insight, clips and more this session is a must for fans of high-quality feature animation.

Featuring guest speaker Alex Woo (Director of In Your Dreams) in conversation with Steve Henderson (Festival Director - MAF).

This event was pre-recorded during MAF2025.
