It’s entirely possible that an early work by the next Atom Egoyan or David Cronenberg will screen on Wednesday night at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. With the 2013 Student Film Showcase featuring the best from post-secondary schools around the country and the Jump Cuts Young Filmmakers Showcase kicking off the evening with Toronto-area high-school students’ films, the night will be a coming-out party for a new crop of talent. Judging by the polished creativity of some of the entries, it’s safe to say that young people are more prepared than ever to start telling stories on film from an early age.

According to CBC’s Chris Boyce, the goal of this weekend’s CBCMusic.ca Festival is twofold. First and foremost, the CBC wants to celebrate Canadian music. Second, it wants to celebrate CBC Music, the broadcaster’s online music service, which launched a little over a year ago.

For today’s final instalment of Hot Docs daily, we’ve decided to defer in part to the festival’s official juries, who announced their 2012 award winners at a ceremony held on Friday night. The Best Canadian Feature and Best International Feature winners will have encore screenings this evening, and we’re happy to get behind both selections.

In fact, before Nisha Pahuja’s excellent The World Before Her () took Best Canadian Feature honours, we’d already earmarked it for a recommendation. For early birds, the film will still screen as originally planned (11 a.m., at the Isabel Bader Theatre), but this evening’s bonus presentation (6:30 p.m.) is a welcome a option for those who prefer leisurely starts to their Sunday mornings. Either way, Pahuja’s less-than-optimistic look at the position of women in contemporary India is worth working into your plans.

With respect to Best International Feature-winner Call Me Kuchu, we can’t yet offer a first-hand opinion. But this account of gay rights activism in Uganda—a hotbed of vicious, state-sponsored homophobia—has all the makings of a powerful viewing experience. In addition to their Hot Docs jury prize, filmmakers Malika Zouhali-Worrall and Katherine Fairfax Wright can boast of a Teddy Award from January’s Berlin Film Festival, which clearly bodes well for this evening’s bonus screening (6 p.m., The Bloor Hot Docs Cinema).

Also receiving an encore presentation (6:15 p.m., at the soon-to-be-shuttered Cumberland) is Ariel Nasr’s The Boxing Girls of Kabul (), which claimed Hot Docs’ Inspirit Foundation Pluralism Prize.

Because we were only lukewarm on that film, we’re offering a bonus recommendation of our own: Jason Becker: Not Dead Yet (, 4 p.m., TIFF Bell Lightbox 1). Like a heavy-metal counterpart to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Jim Vile’s film is the inspiring story of a former guitar prodigy who’s defied all odds to conquer a debilitating (and theoretically fatal) diagnosis.
