Doc Challenge
About
The Documentary Challenge is a timed filmmaking competition where filmmakers have 5 days to make a short non-fiction film. All participants make their films during the same time period and, in addition to being restricted on time, the filmmakers must choose between 2 assigned documentary genres and are assigned a specific theme that will dictate the content and direction of their film. The top 12 films annually premiere at the Hot Docs festival.
About this Playlist
These specially selected Canadian titles have all been submitted to the annual Doc Challenge from 2007 through 2009. With such diverse subjects matters as religion, sexuality and sports fanaticism, they showcase impressive documentary techniques and vision, and most impressively: what can be accomplished through a dynamic use of story, character and craft with limited time!
