‘Kelly,’ Norwegian Democrazy,’ ‘Women of God’ Among European Section at Hot Docs
European Film Promotion has unveiled the seventh edition of the Changing Face of Europe, a section that that runs as part of Hot Docs.
The section features nine European documentaries, selected by the Hot Docs programming team, that “illustrate and examine a new and contemporary Europe from a cultural, social, geo-political and economic perspective.” Laszló Csaki’s “Pelikan Blue,” a droll animated film, reveals the little-known story of how three young Hungarians forged train tickets in the late 1980s so that an entire generation was able to discover the Western world. Having its Canadian premiere is “Echo of You.” In her sensuous and life-affirming film, director Zara Zerny tenderly portrays nine elderly Danish people who talk about what it is like to carry on living without their loved ones by their sides.
