History


The Austin Film Critics Association was founded in 2005 by local film critics Cole Dabney and Robert “Bobby” McCurdy while attending Bowie High School in Austin. The organization grew in its first eight years, expanding from three members in 2005 to 25 members in 2013.[1]


On January 12, 2007, after only one year in existence, Entertainment Weekly called the AFCA “wildly contrarian” for naming Ellen Page Best Actress for her role in Hard Candy over Helen Mirren for her performance in The Queen, as Mirren had swept the category so far during award season.[2]


The association chose to name the group’s Breakthrough Artist Award to honor Robert “Bobby” McCurdy starting in 2010. McCurdy died on December 19, 2010, while training to become a Naval Aviator.[3]

Quarantine

A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time.
