OPENING at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema in September


Blurred Lines: Inside the Art WorldD: Barry Avrich | Canada | 2017 | 80 min

This Hot Docs hit is an all-access pass into the contemporary art world. Modern art pieces from established names can go for what seems like absurd amounts of money, accessible only to the elite. Assessing the value of a work of art in both cultural and monetary terms is tricky territory that calls into question what we view and accept as art to begin with and how we commodify said value in our capitalist society. Filmmaker Barry Avrich takes you around the globe to auctions, museums, art openings and talks to experts and the artists themselves—including Marina Abramovic and Julian Schnabel—about this unregulated economic system and what it reveals.


Hare Krishna! The Mantra, The Movement and The Swami Who Started It AllD: Jean Griesser, John Griesser | USA | 2017 | 90 min

A teacher and visionary whose powerful words started a global movement, meet the 70-year old Swami who came to New York from India in 1965, bearing a message of peace. Prabhupada brought the meditative mantra of Hare Krishna and shared that the key to happiness, love and freedom was to understand yourself. Soon, he had countless followers, most famously George Harrison, who integrated the Hare Krishna chant into “My Sweet Lord.” As the movement grew, so did its resistance and devotees came under threat but it was already too strong. Hare Krishna! gives you the chance to meet the Swami who started it all.


REM: Rem Koolhaas DocumentaryD: Tomas Koolhaas | USA | 2016 | 75 min

Renowned Dutch architectural thinker and designer Rem Koolhaas is a singular genius with an astounding body of work. In line with his principles of dynamism, this unique documentary conveys the human experience of architecture as an interactive relationship that shifts and evolves, emphasizing moving camera footage to properly explore space. Directed by his son Tomas, REM provides full access to Koolhaas’ process and philosophy. His most revered accomplishments—the Seattle Central Library, the CCTV headquarters in Beijing, De Rotterdam in the eponymous city and the Casa da Musica in Porto—are all explored here in rich detail with beautiful cinematography.


Food EvolutionD: Scott Hamilton Kennedy | USA | 2016 | 92 min

How will we feed ourselves in the future? In this thought-provoking doc, science superstar Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts a balanced and vital conversation about GMOs and food security. Food Evolution is an insightful examination of the different sides of the argument that makes the case for GMOs as our hope for the future. Some claim genetically modified foods have negative impacts on our health, while others say it’s our only chance at feeding the world’s population and both say they have the science to back it up. A slate of farmers and scientists weigh in with deGrasse Tyson, helping make sense of this vital debate.“ In a world desperate for safe, sustainable

food, G.M.O.s may well be a force for good.” - The New York Times

“ A valentine from a son to his father as well as a largely absorbing architecture documentary.” - The Hollywood Reporter

“ Explores the art world from a multitude of angles in this engaging and entertaining doc.” - POV Magazine

“ Fittingly devotional tribute to Srila Prabhupada, who traveled from Calcutta to New York and spearheaded a revolution.” - Los Angeles Times

Long Time Running D: Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier | Canada | 2017 | 96 min

In 2015, The Tragically Hip’s iconic frontman Gord Downie revealed he was battling incurable brain cancer. The following year, the band set out on a final Canadian tour that captured hearts across the nation. In support of their album Man Machine Poem, The Tragically Hip went on to play 15 shows, culminating in a historic final concert in Kingston broadcast on CBC to over 10 million viewers. In Long Time Running, filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier (Watermark, Act of God) capture the magic of the shows as well as the ups and downs of the band’s emotional journey.

“ It was just a dream. It was the best I’ve ever felt onstage. I wanted the shows to go on forever.” - Gord Downie


The Last Dalai Lama?D: Mickey Lemle | USA | 2016 | 82 min

Now in his 80s, the Dalai Lama is dealing with mortality but it doesn’t seem to concern him much. This inspiring documentary looks at the life of the Dalai Lama and focuses on his thoughts and reflections looking back and forward. The big question everyone is asking: will the Dalai Lama be reincarnated again? He isn’t so sure. The Last Dalai Lama? also features interviews with those who admire him, including Philip Glass (who composes the film’s score with Tenzin Choegyal). Scenes of the Dalai Lama visiting young students demonstrate he’s still youthful himself and not done spreading the word of peace.


Let There Be LightD: Mila Aung-Thwin, Van Royko | Canada | 2017 | 80 min

Surely the most ambitious ongoing project on the planet, scientists from the wealthiest countries have gathered in the French countryside to create an artificial sun. The end goal? Energy for the whole world. With time and money poured into the experiment, its failure would be a huge blow against the quest for alternative energy sources. Meanwhile, independent engineers are working on their own towards the same results, to harness nuclear fusion as a sustainable solution. Let There Be Light gives you insider access to this epic science experiment as some of the world’s greatest minds strive to make a monumental breakthrough.

Featuring stunning imagery from the Voyager feeds, this cinematic experience celebrates a spectacular human achievement.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22

RAT FILMD: Theodore Jacob Anthony | USA | 2016 | 82 min

Baltimore is so full of rats that its garbage cans are designed according to how high a rat can jump. This critical favourite draws a compelling connection between the rampant rodent population and issues of segregation afflicting the city, home of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Governor General’s Award–nominated writer, journalist and host and co-writer of Discovery World’s travel show, Paris Next Stop, Lisa Pasold guides us through Paris’s incredible history.

From the muddy beginnings of Paris to today’s sparkling cosmopolitan centre, the City of Light has helped define Western ideas about city life. We’ll discuss historical turning points—including how Parisians invented the restaurant—and talk about literary Paris with celebrities like George Sand, Gertrude Stein and Hemingway. From revolutions that have torn up the city’s streets, to how the city was destroyed and rebuilt for modern living, this an unmissable and unmistakably impactful chronicle.

It is said that most people eat to live, while in Italy people live to eat. In this course, Hot Docs favourite Dr. Franco Gallippi returns to explore the history and cultural significance of some of the most famous dishes from his native land.

From a simple plate of “pasta e ceci” (pasta with chickpeas) to an elaborate “timballo di maccheroni” (macaroni timbale), Franco will use famous scenes in Italian cinema and literature to examine the ingredients and regional differences that have shaped these mouthwatering delicacies, and the identity and history of a people that never stops talking about food.

• September 29: Primo (First Courses)

• October 6: Secondo (Second Courses)

• October 20: Dolce (Dessert)

Still passionately engaged in Toronto’s civic affairs, Mr. Crombie will draw on years of public service to explore the city’s history, assess its current challenges and opportunities, and look ahead at the issues that will define Toronto in the 21st century. Crombie is also a former Member of Parliament, federal cabinet minister, president of the Canadian Urban Institute and founding chair of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust.
