Hot Docs 2021: Wrap-Up

This was the second virtual edition of the Hot Docs Film Festival and I do have to make note of how much of a challenge it is to cover a film festival remotely. While I do hope that Hot Docs returns to cinemas for its 2022 edition, I still managed to see a decent number of documentaries. So, without further ado, here is my Hot Docs 2021 Wrap-Up!

Top Ten Favourite Films

1. The Sparks Brothers
2. Fanny: The Right to Rock
3. Subjects of Desire
