SKATEBOARDING, the usual DRUGS, and stray glimpses of unusual BEAUTY Dragonslayer heralds the directorial debut of Tristan Patterson, who documents, over the course of one turbulent year, the life of Josh Sandoval, a local skate board legend growing up in the suburbs of Fullerton, California.

Hot Docs and partners the National Screen Institute, On Screen Manitoba and DOC Winnipeg are pleased to present the Best of Hot Docs, a weekend of documentary screenings, Friday, November 11, to Sunday, November 13, at the Winnipeg Film Group’s Cinematheque, 100 Arthur Street. The Best of Hot Docs celebrates the Winnipeg premiere of four sold-out hits from this year’s Hot Docs lineup, and works by two of Manitoba’s own unique documentary filmmaking talents.
