Today in Toronto: Hot Docs, AGO Massive, Kids in the Hall, Anna Karenina, Escape from the Bank, Jessy Lanza

Today in Toronto North America's largest documentary film festival is back, and as always there are way too many films to chose from, especially since many of these docs are otherwise hard to find. From the political to the eclectic, find this year's program online here, and see our top 20 picks here.

The AGO's 2015 Massive mega party will celebrate their Basquiat exhibit with a tribute to NYC's '80s avant-garde scene by artists including Toronto's TALWST. Kids in the Hall will kick off four dates, while the Black Box Theatre will be transformed into a '20s bank for by Real Escape Room T.O..
