Hot Docs 2013: Wrap-Up

Leave a Comment / By /

hotdocs205[4] This year marked my third time going to the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary festival.  With me seeing a grand total of 36 films, this year’s Hot Docs was one of my busiest film festival experiences ever.  This year’s Hot Docs selection was at a particularly high quality and I ended up enjoying the majority of the documentaries I saw during the week.  Of course, this would make coming up with a list of my favourites a bit more difficult than expected. Well, without further ado, here is my full wrap up for the festival and I will see you next year. Top Five Favourite Films
