Two Iranian Docs in Hot Docs

Short Film News (SFN)- Two Iranian Docs are going to participate in the 18th annual edition of Hot Docs Film Festival.

This year, Hot Docs will screen over 199 documentaries from 43 countries on 16 different screens across Toronto.
 
Our Persian Rug by Massoud Bakhshi and Daughters of Malakeh by Sharog Heshmat Manesh & Jet Homoet are Iran representatives in this International Festival.

"This year is something of a game-changer for Hot Docs," says executive director Chris McDonald. "We are expanding the number of film presentations by one third, we are screening in new neighbourhoods across the city, and we will be providing more direct financial support to filmmakers. The doc-making marketplace has changed dramatically, and so has our role within it. We are not just screening great work; we are helping to finance and distribute films in a meaningful way. Stay tuned for the announcement of a major new international initiative in the coming weeks. Until then, we look forward to sharing a staggering array of quality docs with our unbeatable Toronto audiences at this year's Festival."

Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, North America's largest documentary festival, conference and market, proudly returns for its 18th annual edition from April 28 to May 8, 2011 and full list of selection available at festival's website: www.hotdocs.ca
