Welcome to Hot Docs Festival Online! Although we can't come together in person this spring, we're excited to bring you over 140 official 2020 selection for Hot Docs Festival Online.
From May 28 to June 6, Ontario audiences can stream documentary premieres, watch pre-recorded filmmaker Q&As, partake in virtual live events, and vote for the audience awards—all on hotdocs.ca.
