Applications are now open for Atlantic Canadian producers with a feature project in development, production, post-production or distribution who plan to attend Hot Docs, the largest documentary festival in North America.

Lunenburg Doc Fest will lead up to 20 Atlantic Canada Delegation members to the 25th Hot Docs for professional development and networking opportunities. Emerging talent, with at least one short film having screened in a major film festival, and established producers and filmmakers are invited to apply to join the 2018 Atlantic Canada Delegation.
