Registration

Attending Hot Docs Festival

  • How can I use my industry pass to access film or event tickets?
    Industry Pass holders can claim one ticket to all non-concurrent film screenings. A block of tickets for each screening is held for pass holders. Tickets are distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis, subject to availability. 

    GETTING TICKETS

    In Person: Tickets can be picked up at the venue box office on the day of the screening. Venue box offices open one hour before their first screening of the day, and only have tickets for that venue. 

    Online: Tickets will be available starting at 9pm the night before the screening until one hour before the start of the screening. 
    • On the film page, click the "Tickets" button beside the date/time
    • Log in using your username and password
    • Select the $0 Passholder ticket option 
    • You can repeat the above steps to get tickets to more films/events, and then proceed through the checkout process to finalize your order. 
    Please note: Tickets for the opening night screening can be obtained online starting at noon on April 23.
  • I'm having trouble accessing my ticket account. Help!
    All industry pass holders were sent an email with their username. Please double check that you are using the correct one. You can sign in at hotdocs.ca/boxoffice/sign-in.

    If you have previously obtained tickets to either Hot Docs Festival or Cinema, you will have an existing password. 
    If you do not know or do not have a password, use the "Forgot your password" function to resent or create it. 

    Still having trouble? Please contact pmorin@hotdocs.ca for assistance.
  • Will there be a digital component for this year's Festival?
    There is no virtual component at this year’s festival.
  • I have accessibility needs. How can you help?
    Hot Docs value inclusivity and accessibility for all guests, staff and volunteers​. Details about venue accessibility can be found HERE and our full accessibility policy is available HERE.
