The Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema (WFAC) is a film festival for animated feature films, founded to promote appreciation for animation as a narrative medium for mature cinematic storytelling and to review and celebrate animated feature films in the venue they were meant to be seen in: a theatre.
The 2006 Festival consists of four programs: World Cinema, Retrospectives, Speaker Series and Tidbits. The World Cinema program features contemporary feature films from around the world. The Retrospectives program looks back at films of a certain theme or artistry, which have contributed to the films of today. The Speaker Series offers an opportunity for the public to learn about the artistry of animation. Last but not least, the Tidbits program features films from small creative teams challenging the limits of what can be accomplished, to tell the stories they want to tell.
WFAC 2006 will be running at The Gig theatre (the Hyland Cinema), 30 Duke Street, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. For more information, visit www.wfac.ca.
