Founders Circle Festival Expeditions
Founders Circle members have the opportunity to travel with fellow doc-lovers and Hot Docs staff to film festivals around the world. This year, we are going to the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam from November 9-14, DOC NYC from November 10-12, DocPoint Helsinki in February 2024 (exact dates TBD), and Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival from March 9-13, 2024.
A participant fee covers all film tickets and group activities. Travelers are responsible for booking their own flights, and paying for their own accommodation, though we secure preferred rates at a chosen hotel.
