Hot Docs, billed as North America's leading festival of documentary film, runs in Toronto this year April 17 to 28. Info at www.hotdocs.ca
Among the premieres: Halifax filmmaker John Walker's Passages, inspired by Ken McGoogan's John Rae biography Fatal Passage. I hear it's an interesting film. I also hear it's a fully acted, fully-scripted drama. But who's to set the bounds of documentary film, anyway?
