Hot Docs today unveiled the first two documentary projects to receive production support through Hot Docs Partners, its Can$2.6 million ($1.9 million) cofinancing initiative that was launched a year ago at the annual festival in Toronto.
The most recent addition to Hot Docs’ Can$9 million ($6.7 million) production fund portfolio, Partners matches a select group of doc-friendly, socially conscious investors with Canadian and international feature-length projects that have key financing already in place, and strong potential to impact audiences in meaningful ways.
Partners is providing cofinancing support to “Influence,” directed by Richard Poplak and Diana Neille, the journalists who exposed the reputation-management firm Bell Pottinger. An international co-production between South Africa’s StoryScope and Chronicle Productions, and Canada’s Eyesteelfilm, “Influence” explores the dark art of geopolitical spin-doctoring.
Partners joins Sodec and the Canadian Media Fund to support “We Are Here,” directed and written by Ariel Nasr and produced by Loaded Pictures...
