OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6
Unarmed VersesD: Charles Officer | Canada | 2017 | 86 min
The acclaimed winner of the Best Canadian Feature Documentary Award at Hot Docs 2017, Unarmed Verses follows Francine Valentine, a 12-year-old girl who is just one of many people facing eviction from a low-income housing block in Toronto’s north-east end. With a creative spirit, love for art and perceptive point of view beyond her years, Francine and other neighbourhood children turn to creative expression. Director Charles Officer crafts a moving local coming-of-age story that celebrates our bonds and ability to persevere.
OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6
School LifeD: Neasa Ní Chianáin, David Rane | Ireland | 2016 | 99 min
This isn’t Dead Poets Society, but it will fill you with the same zest for the power of education—and an excellent teacher. For John and Amanda Leyden, work as instructors at Headfort School over the past 46 years has been more than just any vocation. Within the walls of the school, they are caregivers and coaches, music managers and theatre directors. Observe the comings and goings of this school in the charming hamlet of Kells, tucked in the rolling hills of Ireland’s County Meath, and celebrate not only the singularly special bond between teacher and student—but the importance of inspiring a new generation.
OPENS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
Do Donkeys Act?D: David Redmon, Ashley Sabin | UK | 2017 | 72 min
Willem Dafoe narrates this strange and surprisingly beautiful Hot Docs Festival favourite about a group of donkeys recovering from abuse in a sanctuary. In entrancingly rhythmic prose, Dafoe gives a new perspective on the donkey—deterring us from adding human values to their behaviour with subversive and mind-bending words. An attempt to restore dignity to these disparaged animals, Do Donkeys Act? becomes increasingly attuned to their point of view, asking us to try to see the world as they do—to give the donkey its due. Dafoe’s words imbue the film with unexpected emotional resonance and might just give you a newfound sympathy for the donkey.
OPENS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
Long Time RunningD: 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 tour across Canada 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.
“Follow the Hip on their own long last waltz, as the collective says farewell to their fans and their life on the stage.” – Rolling Stone
“Champions the donkey, taking the animals from their position of lowly beast, and elevating them as unique artists.” - POV Magazine
“Few Canadian films have captured the power of raw, youthful artistic expression in the same way.” - Toronto Film Scene
“ Childhood is a mystery we endlessly come back to and a place the Leydens have never fully left.” - Screen Daily

Sidemen: Long Road To GloryD: Scott D. Rosenbaum | USA, Iceland | 2016 | 77 min
Blues musicians Pinetop Perkins, drummer Willie ‘Big Eyes’ Smith and guitarist Hubert Sumlin may not be household names— but they played pivotal roles in shaping rock and roll as we know it, influencing legendary bands like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. As the “sidemen” behind Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, their sound is unmistakable. Director Scott D. Rosenbaum pays tribute to their musical genius in this doc narrated by comedian Marc Maron, bringing them together for their final live performances. Don’t miss this music celebration featuring Bonnie Raitt, Gregg Allman, Derek Trucks, Shemekia Copeland, Robby Krieger, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and more.
OPENING at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema in October
OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27
California Typewriter D: Doug Nichol | USA | 2016 | 103 min
Is there a more romantic image of a writer than that of someone hunched over their typewriter passionately working away, the clicks and dings sounding off as they go? Discover extensive collections of trusty typewriters, all carefully selected by brand and generation, curated by those who are not so quick to shrug off old technology. Many artists and writers who still swear by the machine—among them Tom Hanks, John Mayer and the late Sam Shepard—share their thoughts on its value as a tool and source of inspiration. California Typewriter also looks at one of the last surviving typewriter repair shops, run by a man determined to keep the tradition alive.
Film subject and antique typewriter aficionado Martin Howard will be in attendance for post-screening Q&As at select screenings.
“A treasured US institution opens itself to…master Frederick Wiseman, who finds enlightenment, humour, compassion and soul within its walls.” - The Guardian
“Abounds with colorful anecdotes and dutifully notes the profound influence of bluesmen on the evolution of rock ’n’ roll.” - Variety
OPENS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20
Ex Libris: The New York Public LibraryD: Frederick Wiseman | USA | 2017 | 195 min
Step inside the world-renowned New York Public Library and explore its many facets, from newspaper archives to photo collections to after school classes to excerpts from talks featuring Elvis Costello and Patti Smith. Ex Libris also follows the high-level staff as they try to balance public and private funding and face the challenges of bringing the library into the 21st century. Legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman has made a career of studious dissections of institutions but this feels closer to a love letter. Exemplifying democratic ideals, this is a truly empathetic and heartfelt tribute to the library and the advancement of knowledge.
“Ingenious meditation on what the digital era is doing to us and how it has taken us a step away from reality.” - Variety
OPENS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10
JaneD: Brett Morgen | USA | 2017 | 90 min
Live with Jane Goodall while she conducts her groundbreaking, enthralling work with chimpanzees, which she revealed to be so like humans. Fifty years ago, a National Geographic filmmaker was sent to join her in the Tanzanian jungle, where he captured over 140 hours of 16mm footage that was never used. Today, Academy Award–nominated director Brett Morgen, whose skills of documentary portraiture range from musician Kurt Cobain (Cobain: Montage of Heck) to producer Robert Evans (The Kid Stays in the Picture), takes the footage and sets it to a dreamy orchestral score by Philip Glass in this gorgeous—and ultimately very moving—time capsule.
“Jane isn’t just required viewing for fans of Goodall or animal lovers, but anyone seeking a classic in the making.” - Variety
4 HOTDOCSCINEMA.CA
The Magic FluteD: David McVicar| UK | 2017 | 190 min
The Queen of the Night enlists Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter from an enchanter with the help of the endearingly tactless bird-catcher Papageno. But when they arrive, his priorities shift and he endures a series of trials to join Sarastro’s community.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29 12:00 PM
Performance ON SCREEN
Jerry Lewis: The Man Behind The ClownD: Gregory Monro | France, USA | 2016 | 61 min
Pay tribute to the weird and wonderful Jerry Lewis, who died in August of this year. The clown, innovator and visionary artist behind such classics as The Nutty Professor and The Bellboy, Lewis also appeared in a number of notable works, including The King of Comedy. Here, Lewis candidly recalls his career alongside interviews with Martin Scorsese, Pierre Étaix and more devotees of his work.
