IO, ISA WORLD CONNECTIONS: FOCUS ON JENNIFER BAICHWAL AT HOT DOCS FEST IN TORONTO

Toronto's Hot Docs Festival pays tribute to the work of Jennifer Baichwal, director of the beautiful Manufactured Landscapes, which as national premiere at IO, ISABELLA IFW 2007 stirred the admiration of Italian audiences. The Canadian director enters the crew of the many excellent Canadian non-fiction filmmakers (Mark Achbar, Peter Winthonick, etc.) that in recent years brought us wonderful pieces of work. With each new film Baichwal has expanded her considerable skills as a filmmaker, with Manufactured Landscapes (2006) widely considered among the finest international documentaries of 2007.

Focus On Jennifer Baichwal opens Saturday, April 19 at 11:00 AM with THE TRUE MEANING OF PICTURES: SHELBY LEE ADAMS' APPALACHIA at the SCENE Screening Room at the Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto.

Hot Docs is on from April 17 to 27.
