You only have two more nights to impress your date by taking them to a smart person movie. And fr all of you who have been going on and on about how much you want to go see a Hot Doc this year, here's how you do it:
1. Look at the screening schedule.
2. Pick a movie (or 11).
3. GO SEE IT. If it's gone rush, don't worry. Just get there an hour before the movie and you'll probably get in.
If you're looking for suggestions, Hot Docs presented their awards last night. Only a couple are still screening, so I put them in brackets. Here they are:
Best International Feature: A Film Unfinished
Special Jury Prize - International Feature: The Oath
Best Canadian Feature: In the Name of the Family [6:45 on Sunday at the Bader]
Special Jury Prize - Canadian Feature: Leave them Laughing [3:15 today at the Bloor]
Best Mid-Length Documentary: I Shot My Love
Best Short: Tussilago
HBO Documentary films Emerging Artist Award: Marwencol [rescheduled rooftop screening at 8:00 on Sunday]
But really, just pick a time and a place that you want to be at, and go see whatever is playing there. It's a documentary - if it's boring or you don't like it, at least you will learn something. That's the edge that fact has over fiction.
