Tomorrow night in Toronto, the 2009 edition of Hot Docs will kick off in Toronto with the opening night film, Jennifer Baichwal's ACT OF GOD. Turns out the event will be a double celebration, as Zeitgeist - currently the most aggressive acquirer of independent nonfiction - announced today that they release ACT OF GOD this fall. Zeitgeist and Baichwal worked together two years ago on MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES. Mogrel Media will handle the release in Canada.
It's turning out to be a big week for Baichwal news. According to yesterday's Hollywood Reporter, the director has signed on for her next project, an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's book "Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth", with the National Film Board of Canada (which is getting a retrospective at this year's Hot Docs fest).
