The Hot Docs festival was started in 1993 by the Canadian Independent Film Caucus, now the Documentary Organization of Canada, a national association of independent documentary filmmakers mainly composed of film scholars from York University in Toronto. Much of the festival's success can be credited to the logistical support rendered by scores of volunteers every year.
In addition to the Festival, Hot Docs also runs North America's essential documentary market The Toronto Documentary Forum (TDF).
