HOTDOCS, North America’s largest documentary festival today announced that it will host the Canadian Premiere of Banger Films’ new documentary film Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage.

Tickets are on sale now so please rush off and support both the HotDocs Film Festival and the entire Banger Films crew.

The Canadian premiere screening will be on Thursday April 29th at 9:30 at the Winter Garden Theatre with a matinee the following day at 4:30 at the Isabel Bader Theatre. Tickets will sell out fast!

Great job lads! Can’t wait to see the film spread across Canada!

We all know by now that Tribeca have officially released their complete lineup for their world renowned Festival in New York City. Sam and Scot’s long awaited Rush documentary which saw production give way for a short time while they toured with a small indy group of lads who refer to themselves as a relatively nasty medievil torture device. Check out the links on the film site and if you didn’t see it already, check out the new SHREK movie which is going to open the festival. There will be an incredible collection of talent collected here as there is every year.

Last week we had a little fun with you as a wee poked fun at the maelstrom of unofficial rumor mongering that was spinning round the net. A bit of an early April fools joke for you. We even picked a real festival to keep you guessing. I enjoyed reading the comments all over the Sphere. I should say that I do have some legitimate info regarding another big announcement coming up shortly. Let’s see what sort of rumours kick up on that?!

Rather than rehash all the old material regarding the film, here are a few links that have pushed through the news alerts:
