| - Best Film Festival EV-AR. Best part? If you're a student or senior, you get into daytime shows for free. Yup, that's right. But even if you don't fall into one of those two groups, it's definitely worth the $$ to get a pass and hit up as many documentaries as possible.
The selection of documentaries that they get is insane. I found TIFF rather underwhelming - expensive, too many people out, and you were likely locked out of the movies you really wanted to see. Hot Docs is more low-key, but the quality of films are far superior (if you like documentaries). Docs are my favorite film genre, so I had a blast. You get US/Canadian films, foreign films, docs about sports, school, war, cults, adventure sports - anything you can think.
In many cases, the filmmakers showed up and partook in a Q&A session. Really interesting people here. Just A-1 all around - I can't say enough good things about this festival.
