The animated Canadian documentary feature ETERNAL SPRING (長春) wowed at its North American premiere Tuesday night, with filmmaker Jason Loftus in attendance for the film’s first showing before a local Toronto audience. Hot Docs Canadian programmer Alex Rogalski led a Q&A after the film with Loftus and film participant and artist Daxiong.
