In September 2000, Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada, will
celebrate the opening of the new Sheridan Centre for Animation &
Emerging Technologies. As part of the opening festivities, Sheridan
will stage an Animation Retrospective (September 1-10), a Digital
Media Innovations Conference (October 26-28) and the Premiere of the
Canadian Millennium Television Series. The Animation Retrospective
will celebrate Sheridan's successful, 31-year history in animation.
The retrospective will feature a look back at student work over the
years and screenings of films by Sheridan alumni - including Steve
Williams ("The Mask"), Ric Sluiter ("Mulan"), James Straus
("Dragonheart") and Glenn McQueen ("Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2") -
some of whom will be on hand to present and discuss their work. The
general public is invited to attend. Check the Sheridan website for
