Toronto : May 1st to May 7th -
HOT DOCS is a documentary festival taking place in Toronto from April 29 until May 9.
For the first time, a delegation of eleven French producers of documentary films was at Hot Docs for the 2010 edition. They had also the chance to visit Montreal to meet with local producers and commissioning editors thanks to a partnership with SODEC.
This mission, labeled by Ubifrance, is co-organized by iconoval, the Alsace Image Cluster and the regional Chamber of Commerce Alsace-Export thanks to the financial support of Ubifrance.
