Hot Docs Needs Your Support More Than Ever Like many arts organizations, Hot Docs is still feeling the lasting impacts of pandemic closures, and they threaten our long-term viability.

We’ve taken steps to reduce our overhead without impacting our core programming and we’re seeing positive signs of recovery as audiences return to the cinema, but we need your support.

Join our Membership. Enjoy our programming. Spread the word.

Member benefits include free special events, discounted tickets and more at Hot Docs Cinema, as well as discounts and advance booking windows on premium events including Hot Docs Festival.  Give the gift of curiosity with a Hot Docs membership! Explore gift options >>
