Hot Docs is in sync with Lalita Krishna.
Krishna (pictured), the president of In Sync Media, has been named this year’s recipient of the Don Haig Award, presented to an outstanding Canadian independent producer with a feature-length film in competition at Hot Docs – in this case, 2021 official selection
Bangla Surf Girls.
Selected by a jury of independent producers, the award recognizes creative vision, entrepreneurship and a track record of mentoring emerging Canadian filmmakers.
Krishna’s 20 years of credentials include films that reflect her strong belief in empowering underrepresented voices, with recent credits including coproducing
Fear of Dancing for CBC Gem, Documentary Channel, and producing Untying the Knot, for CBC’s Documentary Channel in November 2019.
