Joe Chang is a Chinese/Canadian animator – he’ll be in town tomorrow giving a Masterclass workshop at the NWFF, and then attending a screening of shorts he curated at 3PM as part of the Children’s Film Festival called Joe Chang and Friends – contemporary animation from China and three of his own pieces. The screening takes place again on Feb 5th at 5PM (but without Joe Chang in attendance).

Here is the blurb about the workshop tomorrow – I’ll be there, will you?
