Hot Docs is an internationally renowned documentary film festival, conference and marketing event that takes place annually in Toronto, Canada, where filmmakers from all walks of life are granted the opportunity to showcase their work and strengthen ties in the ever expanding documentary community.
The Doc Shop, which runs concurrently with the festival is a marketplace for documentaries to be viewed by potential buyers, distributors, sales agents and programmers alike.
The National Film and Video Foundation is compiling a South African playlist of documentaries with up to +/- 50 titles for The Doc Shop.
The benefits of having your film included in The Doc Shop:

- Visibility of the film on an international platform.
- The film may receive interest which could potentially lead to sales.
- After the festival and conference, The Doc Shop Online provides year-round access to films for registered buyers, distributors, sales agents and festival programmers.
Eligibility:
- South African filmmakers with projects that are currently in the post production phase (who can provide a rough cut) or completed projects.
- Documentaries of all lengths that have been produced in the last 5 years are welcome.
- Documentaries must be in the English language or subtitled in English.
