Despite a dismal documentary distribution landscape, hundreds of nonfiction filmmakers are heading to Toronto for the 30th edition ofThis year, Hot Docs’ programming director Shane Smith selected 214 films from 2848 submissions to screen in-person and online beginning April 27. The slate of nonfiction films from 72 countries will be spread across 13 programs and will feature 70 world and 33 international premieres.
Joe Piscatella’s “Who’s Afraid of Nathan Law?” is a sequel to his docu “Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower,” which sold to Netflix in 2017 after premiering at Sundance. Although Piscatella realizes that the current doc market has done a one-eighty since 2017, he remains optimistic. Laura McGann’s “The Deepest Breath” will play alongside “It’s Only Life After All” and “Invisible Beauty” in the Hot Docs Special Presentations section, which features high-profile subjects, award-winning films and filmmakers, and original perspectives on current events and pressing issues. “The Deepest Breath,” about high-risk freediving, was acquired by Netflix before its Sundance premiere earlier this year. Hot Docs marks the fourth film festival McGann has attended with the docu.
