Regarded as the most effective international documentary market in North America, the Hot Docs Forum (formerly the Toronto Documentary Forum) is a dynamic pitching event that stimulates international co-production financing for projects at various levels of completion.

Focused around a slate of pre-selected international project presentations showcased in front of a round table of commissioning editors, programming executives and observers from around the globe, the Hot Docs Forum’s intimate and intense format has proven extremely successful in building international partnerships and raising additional financing for both presenting and observing producers.
The Hot Docs Forum is accepting the following types of documentary submissions:
- Broadcast and feature-length documentaries
- Series
- Interactive documentaries
- 3D documentaries
