Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema

Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema is a documentary-focused movie theater that screens independent films and special programs in a 650-seat auditorium. The venue shows films throughout the year, selecting a mix of documentaries and feature films from different sources.

The theater first opened in 1941 as Madison Picture Palace and went through various transformations over the decades. In 2016, it was redesigned to focus exclusively on documentary programming and became the home of the Hot Docs Festival.

The cinema hosts the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival each year, bringing together documentary filmmakers and audiences from different countries.

The cinema sits on Bloor Street West near Bathurst subway station, making it convenient to reach by public transportation. Visitors can purchase memberships that offer discounts on festival tickets and special screenings.

The venue hosts monthly Doc Soup screenings where recent documentaries are shown alongside filmmaker discussions and question-and-answer sessions. These events let viewers connect directly with the people who made the films.
