Showtimes
Major Update
In conjunction with the Waterloo Region Children's Museum, the Festival will be presenting three films at the Museum. Screenings are FREE to all museum attendees.
The films that are being presented are three Japanese anime films, on Saturday and Sunday:
* 12:30pm - Detective Conan: Case Closed (ENGLISH PREMIERE): a charming film about a young brilliant detective, with a twist - he's been turned back into a little child! But armed with ingenuity, a few gadgets and his buddies, he'll track down who did this to him yet - and in the meanwhile, criminals of the world beware!
* 3:00pm - Wings of Honneamise: (HD PREMIERE) the groundbreaking film by Gainax, now presented on its 20th anniversary. A directionless young man finds purpose and himself as he strives towards becoming the first man in space. With technical assistance from NASA, this film remains a yardstick after 20 years for 2D animation.
* 5:15pm - Jinroh the Wolf Brigade: (HD PREMIERE) first presented in the inaugural WFAC in 2001, this is a marvellous tale of an alternate Earth in which Germany won WWII, and Japan lost. The social unrest fomented a rebellion that led to the creation of a special antiterrorism squad that became as much of a cause as a cure for the problems afterwards. This is the story of one man in the squad, as its historic mission drew to a close. Brilliant film full of insight, with a dream-like quality lent by its connection to the fable of the Little Red Riding Hood.
Check out the films, and check out the Children's Museum's other great installations - especially that robotic chair!
