Doxa Documentary Film & Video Festival

Went to my first Doxa doc today. Good film, preceded by a couple shorts; loved hearing the producer speak about her project «Here Are the News», 10 years in the making. Amazing to hear people discuss something which is such a labour of love for them.
Everything was very well-​organized. The lobby was set up with a couple macs for browsing and cheerful volunteers were ready to help if I looked helpless for a moment. $ 2 gets you a membership for the duration of the festival and $ 10 gets you into see one. Since I’m on hiatus from work and value every dollar, gotta say I loved the freebies at the front door — granola bars and Geist magazine.
Great selection of docs this season, I’ve got four I’ll be attending. Only wish there were more — but that depends on you!
