It’s no secret that we love a good documentary. From our stacked Film Festival non-fiction lineups to the fact that Sundance-supported documentaries regularly take the top spots during award season, we pride ourselves on deep storytelling and shining a light on the world around us. This is a passion that we share with the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.

Officially known as the largest festival dedicated to documentaries in North America, the Toronto-based film festival is preparing to get underway this weekend. We’re overjoyed to see so many familiar faces and titles gracing the Hot Docs screens this weekend. 

From 2022 Sundance Film Festival alums to Sundance-supported projects making their debut, there’s a lot for champions of independent documentary storytelling to celebrate this weekend.

As we know, film festival programs can be daunting with all of their offerings, so below we’ve provided you with a quick cheat sheet of all the Hot Doc films that were born from the Sundance family.
