David Nugent, Director of Programming for the Hamptons Film Festival and a teacher at the New School, supplies us with these TIFF doc picks:

I am really looking forward to (in no particular order) seeing:

PETER BERG PRESENTS KINGS RANSOM (pictured) - As a huge fan of both Peter Berg's television show FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and "the great one" Wayne Gretzky himself, I'm very excited about this. Perhaps another trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame down the road in Toronto to get me in the mood...

LA DANSE: LE BALLET DE L'OPERA DE PARIS - While my passion for hockey is stronger than it is for dance, Frederick Wiseman can make anything interesting to watch. The delicate grace of the Paris Opera Ballet dancers and all that goes into such a venerable cultural institution would seem to add up to a fascinating film in Wiseman's hands.

CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY - While the foolishness of the Bush administration, and our twisted health care system, certainly provided Michael Moore with rich material with which to work, last year's global financial crisis seems like the perfect topic for him to explore. I am hoping for the slightly more thoughtful and curious probing of BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE instead of FAHRENHEIT 911 and SICKO's overwhelmingly tendentious approach.
