On Day Two of soliciting TIFF doc picks, we turn to Guy Dixon, arts writer for The Globe and Mail, who tried to stay in the bounds of 3 picks, but couldn't help squeezing in more:

1. L'Enfer de Henri-Georges Clouzot (pictured), about the lost film of actress Romy Schneider found by a film archivist. The risk is that a little may go a long way, in terms of the mood lighting and modernist pastiche of the lost (and now found) footage. But curiosity by far gets the better of me.

2. Colony, about the collapse of bee colonies. The subtle, quiet trailer looks hugely promising. If the world is dying, best to see it soberly and for all its beauty. (Similarly, I'd gladly stand in line for Peter Mettler's Petropolis: Aerial Perspectives of the Alberta Tar Sands, even if in the case of that film, it promises to be the Ed Burtynsky-like beauty/devastation of environmental decline.)

3. Cordao Verde, in TIFF's more experimental Wavelengths program, about the links of Portugese farmers to the land. Knowing nothing about the film, apart from hints of potentially stunning photography and an artier tone than a typical documentary, I'm hoping to see it purely for the pleasure of discovery.

And if I can cop a fourth, it'd be The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights, about the band's Canadian tour, chosen for obvious reasons.
