Hot Docs Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Our mission is to advance and present the art of documentary, and to facilitate production, financing and distribution opportunities for documentary makers.
Our Vision
The organization showcases Canadian and international documentaries to the public, provides educational opportunities for youth, and delivers conference, market and networking opportunities to documentary professionals through the presentation of an annual festival and year-round activities.
Hot Docs endeavours to provide the highest quality programs and services to its constituents, and strives to earn an international reputation for excellence.
Each presentation confirms our fervent belief that documentary is a vibrant medium for capturing and enriching the critical discourse of our times. In the context of audio-visual culture, documentary is a preeminent form for social engagement and cohesion.
