Truth, and Occasionally Beauty

So, Hot Docs had its launch conference yesterday, and I did my best to capture the salient points in this piece for the NOW site. (Not included: The revelation that current SEMcast guest Sofia Bohdanowicz will be premiering her new film Maison du Bonheur at the fest, but only because that news arrived too late for inclusion.)

Bottom line: There’s a crap-ton of features and shorts racing towards us and we are barely prepared, people. It may even be time to panic.

Oh, but not before we get through this year’s Canadian Film Festival, which kicked off last night with an atrocious new satire from Ken Finkleman but greatly improves tonight and stays pretty solid straight through Saturday’s closing night screening of Filth City. I wrote about that too, because I am a goddamn machine.
