On the latest episode of Frameline, Barbara Goslawski and I dive into all things Hot Docs with two great interviews and the first wave of our Hot Picks for Hot Docs. First, we speak with director Shasha Nakhai about her fascinating film Take Light which looks at the Nigerian energy crisis. Next we chat with director/artist Kelly O’Brien whose Facebook art will be the focal point of her live one-night only presentation Postings from Home as part of the Doc X program. Finally we wrap things up with some capsule reviews of The Artist & The Pervert, The Prince and The Dybbuk, Crime + Punishment, Mr. Fish: Cartooning from the Deep End, Three Identical Strangers, Mr. SOUL!, Blowin’ Up, Anote’s Ark, and Obscuro Barroco.
