The Doc Shop is an invitation-only platform. Participating titles are chosen from films that have been submitted to the Hot Docs Festival.
In addition, all entrants must choose to make their film eligible for inclusion in The Doc Shop via an option on the Festival submission form. If you did not opt-in on your original submission form and would now like for your film to be eligible for inclusion, please contact [email protected].
All submissions that are selected for Hot Docs 2020 will automatically be eligible for inclusion in The Doc Shop.
A limited number of films that are not selected for the Festival will also be offered the opportunity to be featured in The Doc Shop. These titles are identified by the Hot Docs programming team during the Festival selection process, and are eligible for inclusion in The Doc Shop’s Hot Docs Recommends section.
