Each year, the festival debuts approximately 200 cutting-edge documentaries from Canada and around the world. This year’s festival will include in-cinema screenings, a selection of online offerings, and five Podcast Festival Showcase events. There are also a number of 30th Anniversary Events taking place, which you can browse online here.

Hot Docs is a national, charitable organization that has been dedicated to advancing and celebrating the art of documentaries since 1994 and has become a globally recognized festival. Bloor-Yorkville is proud to continue its support of independent documentary filmmaking that takes a sharp, critical look at current and ongoing events around the world. Screenings take place throughout the city, including at Bloor-Yorkville’s Isabel Bader Theatre, a contemporary venue located at 93 Charles St West.
