Hot Docs 16 opens tonight in Toronto
The sixteenth edition of HotDocs, the terrific Toronto documentary event, opens with Jennifer Baichwal's Act of God. [Baichwal, after the jump.] "Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival," to use its full name, programs over 170 films from 39 countries. Sidebars include Spotlight on the NFB at 70 and Made In South Korea programs; retrospectives of work by Torontonian filmmaker Ron Mann and 2009 Outstanding Achievement Award recipient Alanis Obomsawin. Here's the Hot Docs Daily. For the third year, I'll be observing and reporting from the fest, starting on Tuesday and running through the end. Monday, I'll have a preview of some movies I've seen and others I'm anticipating. Expect photographs and video.
