Hot Docs 2008 - Toronto
15th Annual HOT DOCS 2008
HOT DOCS begins this week as does my vacation which oddly coincides with the documentary film festival. However, I managed to put together capsule reviews of a few films I previewed including the opening film ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL which must be seen by any aspiring musician or band.
HOT DOCS runs from April 17th -27th with 170 plus docs from around the world.
Here is all the information on attending:-

Opening The Week of Apr 11th
Nothing specially interesting opening this week. However, in Toronto, Sprockets - a film festival for children is running as well as Romanian New Wave cinema. The latter is a sure bet for excellent, quirky and entertaining films.
Also at the Bloor Wed. late is the special screening of “L’Interieur” (Inside) *****.
