Hot Docs has announced that Hussain Currimbhoy stepped down from his role as Artistic Director on March 20 due to personal reasons. Hussain was fundamental in programming this year’s Festival.
Hot Docs programmers resign en mass on eve of 2024 programming announcement. Festival also set to reduce line-up by 15-20%. povmagazine.com/hot-docs-progr…
NEW: To add to @HotDocs dire financial straits, it looks like there’s just been a mass exodus from the programming team:

Shocked by the lack of EV charging points in Chichester City centre. Only two 7kw (expensive and have to use an app) Cities like York and Bath have banks of high speed ones for shoppers and tourists. @ChichesterDC do something!
It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of iconic British broadcaster and Alan's friend, Sir Michael 'Parky' Parkinson. Michael's wit, generosity and supreme skills will be missed. We shall not see his like again. whickerawards.com/remembering-pa…
Laughing psychopaths aka presenters on ‘GB News’ fall around the studio in laughter at descriptions of deadly effects of #heatwaves. Grim.
So sorry to hear of Michael Parkinson’s death. I grew up watching his supreme interviews on TV and hearing stories about his connection to my mum’s Yorkshire mining family. I interviewed him in 2021 for @whickerawards and he was warm, witty and wonderful. #rip

Are you the same guy who dropped his house building targets? Because I’m the guy who started building more council homes than the rest of England combined, exceeded your affordable homes targets & built more homes of any kind than since the 1930s. This is desperate nonsense.

I'm on leave this year and watching this unfold has been really devastating. My programming colleagues are intelligent, dedicated people. How bad does it have to be for so many to end their (sometimes long) HD programming careers? Solidarity &❤️
NEW: To add to @HotDocs dire financial straits, it looks like there’s just been a mass exodus from the programming team:
Cultural orgs need to take care of their workers. As an ex Hot Docs programmer, I know all festivals pay mgmnt well, but most programmers r on precarious low paying contracts. We do it for love, for the filmmakers, & because we care about the world, my former colleagues included.
🎥 ❤️ film programmers are some of the most precarious contract workers ... love and solidarity to these @HotDocs programmers ... #hotdocs #filmfestivalworkers #documentary #film
@_Nataleah An action like this is very telling, given the integrity of the people listed who announced they are leaving
Solidarity with my former colleagues at Hot Docs who could've only made such a choice under great duress. Hot Docs was one my first programming gigs and I was mentored by two of the OGs on this list. My heart breaks for them but I deeply respect this principled action ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
NEW: To add to @HotDocs dire financial straits, it looks like there’s just been a mass exodus from the programming team:
@HertzBarry @HotDocs I had the honour to work as a programmer alongside many of them for 6 years. Their care and dedication to documentary, filmmakers, ethics and doing the right thing made them the heart and soul of Hot Docs. Things would have to be extremely serious for them to make this decision.
What we've been up to: Exploring models for sustainability, decolonising documentary, democratising public interest media, relationship building, Independence, & DISCO. Read about our @cphdox session here👇 businessdoceurope.com/cphdox-news-ti…

Does labour really think supporting a ceasefire will lose it votes? Are those people ever going to vote labour?
The hypocrisy of film festivals lately—from TIFF's mealy-mouthed statement 2 weeks after hosting Toronto Palestine Film Festival, to this from IDFA while it screens Palestinian films—is confounding. How can you show the art of the oppressed but not stand against their oppression?
IDFA condemns the “hurtful slogan” that appeared on the banner of the protestors who stormed the stage on opening night, demanding better than the wishy-washy acknowledgement of “dark times” across the globe from its director. (Thread)
"Israelis marked a month since Hamas killed 1,400 people and kidnapped 240, starting a war in which 10,300 Palestinians are said to have died." Nothing at all biased about this description in today's London @thetimes: complete neutral like the rest of their coverage. That's the…
