The Changing Face of Europe at Hot Docs
Jeanie Finlay’s Seahorse: The Dad Who Gave Birth, was selected for HotDocs in 2019
Putting a focus on outstanding new documentary productions from Europe, the work of selected European filmmakers is presented at a dedicated section of the Hot Docs Festival in Toronto every April/May.
The showcase focuses on the diversity of European films and particularly those exploring contemporary topics such as immigration and the rise of populism to economic anxiety.
Filmmakers selected for the programme present their work and also participate in workshops, pitches and meetings with potential buyers.
Eligibility
Films must:
- be a UK production or co-production

We'll be announcing our next nominee shortly - and looking for our next one in winter 2020.
