The films of Hot Docs

Festivals

Every month we have an appointment taken with a different partnered festival. Within a few films from the current or previous edition, the singularity of the editorial line is captured and shared in order to tell us something of the present and the vivacity of cinematographic creation.

Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival is North America’s largest documentary festival, conference and market. Each year, the Festival presents a selection of approximately 200 cutting-edge documentaries from Canada and around the globe. Hot Docs was founded in 1993 by the Documentary Organization of Canada (formerly the Canadian Independent Film Caucus), a national association of independent documentary filmmakers. In 1996, Hot Docs became a separately incorporated organization with a mandate to showcase and support the work of Canadian and international documentary filmmakers and to promote excellence in documentary production.
