Feature docs have a new place to go on Jan. 24 with the debut of CBC Newsworld’s The Lens, a weekly series for indie nonfiction headed by commissioning editor Andrew Johnson and exec produced by Catherine Olsen. The opening lineup includes Lifelike (above) – a ‘hilarious and fascinating’ look at taxidermy by director Tally Abecassis – and the 2005 Hot Docs hit The Cross and Bones, by Paul Carriere. The Lens airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
