WFAC

WFAC: Waterloo Festival of Animated Cinema. Periodic (roughly yearly) event spearheaded by Joe Chen. Karl Zaryski and a few other people we know are also involved. The first WFAC was officially a CTRL-A event; Joe has subsequently spun it off into a separate organization of his own. Official policy is that we don't design our schedule around WFAC, so we won't say "Oh, well, we won't show that movie because they probably will", and we don't give them a lot of promotion, but it's worth knowing about the event and mentioning it, at least, to our members, because many of our members will be interested in it. On one occasion, Joe asked to make an announcement at a CTRL-A show, and then proceeded to give a very long and detailed speech about WFAC's plans, much longer than the people who gave permission had anticipated, with deleterious effects on our schedule. Since then it has been preferred for us to make the announcement rather than letting him do it himself in person.
