The mega-sized Canadian documentary film festival, Hot Docs, announced its line-up of 166 films from 41+ nations yesterday.
The festivals opening films are the French documentary Babies (on the first year of life - from first breath to first steps - of four babies from different countries) and a music doc on Canadian prog-rock gods, Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage which was directed by the Metal: A Head Bangers Journey boys.
Want to see a documentary following David Lynch on a transcendental meditation pilgramage? David Wants to Fly is here. Stephen Soderbergh's Spalding Gray doc, And Everything Is Going Fine, which would make a fine companion piece with his 1996 monologue film Gray's Anatomy, is another highlight of the festival lineup.
Hot Docs is also doing a retrospective of some of the most influential documentaries of the decade and a few of the films are Tarnation, American Movie, The Fog of War, Spellbound and Into Great Silence.
Check out the full line-up and schedule here. The festival runs from April 29 - May 9, 2010.
