Doc Camp

Doc Camp is a week-long introduction to documentary filmmaking for aspiring directors, ages 14 to 18 – no experience necessary and it’s absolutely FREE!

Offering youth a dynamic combination of hands-on creativity and lively interaction, Doc Camp participants will learn how to plan, shoot and edit their own short doc while also taking part in exclusive sessions with special guest speakers, including some of Canada’s leading documentarians.

Whether you’re a burgeoning director or just looking for a creative way to express yourself, Hot Docs’ Doc Camp is a unique summer experience not to be missed!
