Hot Docs announced today the first slate of official selections set to premiere at the 2026 Hot Docs Festival, running April 23 to May 3, 2026 in Toronto. These 13 films from 16 countries will screen as part of the highly anticipated Special Presentations program, featuring high-profile subjects, award-winning films and filmmakers, and masterful perspectives on current events and pressing issues. In many cases, filmmakers will be in attendance for post-screening discussions.
Making their world premieres as Special Presentations at Hot Docs Festival 2026 are two films profiling iconic subjects that have stood strong for 50 years. Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the Heart, directed by six-time Tony-winning Broadway producer Dori Berinstein, traces the life and generation-defining career of the multi-award-winning singer-songwriter who soundtracked some of Hollywood’s most unforgettable movie moments. The Tower That Built a City, directed by Canadian filmmaker Mark Myers, celebrates the 50th anniversary of Toronto’s skyline-defining CN Tower, and alongside it, the city’s own tall transformation.
Receiving its international premiere is Canadian co-production TCB – The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing, directed by Louis Massiah and Monica Henriquez, a dynamic portrait of visionary Black feminist writer, filmmaker and activist Toni Cade Bambara. Receiving a North American premiere is A Fox Under a Pink Moon, directed by Mehrdad Oskouei and Soraya Akhalaghi, a long-distance self-portrait of an emigrant’s journey, filmed entirely on her phone over five years as she attempts to flee Iran for Austria. The film has its world premiere at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) where it won Best Film in International Competition.
The Oldest Person in the World from Academy Award-nominated director Sam Green (The Weather Underground), which chronicles the ever-changing Guinness World Record holder, will receive its Canadian premiere, as will Time and Water from Academy Award nominee Sara Dosa (Fire of Love), in which Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason—facing the loss of both his country’s glaciers and his beloved grandparents—turns his archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away. Also receiving its Canadian premiere is Biljana Tutorov and Petar Glomazić’s To Hold A Mountain, winner of Sundance’s World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary and Hot Docs Forum alum, in which a mother and daughter strive to save their quiet Montenegro ancestral home from becoming a NATO military training facility. The Ballad of Judas Priest from directors Sam Dunn (Hip-Hop Evolution, Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story) and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine follows the half-century journey of the heavy metal pioneers and will receive its Canadian premiere.
The full 2026 Festival lineup will be unveiled on Tuesday, March 24. Festival ticket packages are now on sale. Ticket package redemption and single ticket sales for Hot Docs members are available starting March 24. Single ticket sales open to the public on March 31.

With just weeks to go until the release of his highly anticipated fourth studio album Whatever’s Clever!, internationally acclaimed Charlie Puth releases his latest single “Home” Ft. Hikaru Utada, with an official music video directed by Hunter Moreno, both out today via Atlantic Records.
Watch HERE:
“Home was written for my best friend, wife and soon to be mother of our first child. Brooke has changed my life for the better and given me a whole new perspective on why and where I belong in this world. Everything makes sense with her” Puth continues “and to have the honor of one of my favorite artists, Hikaru Utada featuring on this song with me, is a true gift. She gives the song a depth and beauty that I’m so grateful for. She is incredible! I hope you all enjoy is as much as I did making it.”
Hikaru Utada shares, “as a fellow songwriter and music listener, it was obvious to me when I first heard the demo of “Home” that this is a deeply personal song for Charlie that comes straight from his heart. It was a joy to collaborate with such a gifted musician who wears his love of music on his sleeve… and a very fun challenge to contribute Japanese lyrics to an English song, from creating rhyme in languages that have such different phonetics, to being surprised by Charlie’s beautiful Japanese chorus work. I hope everyone enjoys this bilingual song and its universal message.”
“Home” Ft. Hikaru Utada arrives amidst a busy year for Charlie Puth, who embarks on his WHATEVER’S CLEVER! World Tour, starting in San Diego’s Viejas Arena on April 22. Followed by a European tour in June and July. Last month, the award-winning artist performed a soulful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to open the Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Backed by an orchestra and Kenny G, playing his signature Rhodes piano, his stellar performance garnered praise from around the world, as millions tuned in.

The RC Show is back and at a new venue this year, Mississauga’s The International Centre (6900 Airport Rd, Mississauga, ON). from March 8-10, 2026! We had an incredible time taking in all the innovation to be experienced at Canada’s largest food and hospitality industry event.
In fact, 25,000 people are expected at the RC Show this year, with the affair split across five sections of the Centre. There are plenty of opportunities to network, enjoy aisle upon aisle of food and drink samplings, watch guest panels and live cooking competitions, and nab yourself some free swag and enter giveaways! Nobody leaves the RC Show hungry or thirty. It just doesn’t happen.
This was our second time attending, and more than ever, the RC Show felt alive and buzzing with energy. We didn’t want to leave at the end of the day and felt there was still so much more to see and experience!
As the show coincides with International Women’s Day this year, a central theme was celebrating the accomplishments of women in the industry. YES SHEF takes place March 9, 2026, a tasting event with booths led by over 20+ women. Not only is it important to observe women, it needs to be enjoyed and taken in!
We break down our 12 must-see things to see and try at this year’s RC Show, and trust me, it’s a fun one!
There’s still time to check it all out. Tickets at rcshow.com.

Warner Music Canada is proud to announce that global icon and 16x GRAMMY® winner Bruno Mars has officially secured the #1 spot on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart with his long-awaited fourth solo album, The Romantic.
The success of The Romantic extends a historic start to 2026 for Warner Music Canada. Mars’ debut marks the latest in a consecutive string of #1 albums for the label, following chart-topping releases from Zach Bryan, Don Toliver, and Hilary Duff.
The album’s arrival was celebrated in Canada with several high-profile fan activations. In downtown Toronto, hundreds of fans were surprised with fresh roses from Bruno to mark the release. Additionally, a dedicated “love lock” wall was established at Toronto’s STACKT market, allowing fans to leave their own romantic mark in honor of the project.
Beyond the album’s sales success, Mars continues to be a juggernaut at Canadian radio. He has maintained the #1 position across the Top 40, Hot AC, and AC formats for four consecutive weeks with his smash hit single, “I Just Might,” which has just been certified Platinum in Canada.
The demand for Mars’ return to the stage has been massive. The Romantic Tour will see Mars perform a record-setting five nights at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, the highest number of shows for any artist at the venue. What’s more, to accommodate overwhelming interest from fans in Western Canada, a fifth Vancouver date has recently been added at BC Place for October 21. With the additional dates added, the tour will now span nearly 80 dates across North America, Europe, and the UK, cementing its status as one of the biggest global outings of the year.
The Romantic also features the official music video for “Risk It All,” directed by Mars and Daniel Ramos, and follows a record-breaking year for the superstar. In 2025, Mars became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 150 million monthly listeners and currently holds the record for the highest-certified song in RIAA history with “Just the Way You Are” at 21x Platinum.
The Romantic is available everywhere now via Atlantic Records.

Dr. Aditi Sivakumar, an award-winning Obstetrics and Gynaecology resident and women’s health advocate, is releasing an insightful new mini-documentary spotlighting the resilience of women living with HIV and the ongoing impact of stigma in Canada.
A 2021 Canadian study published in the journal AIDS and Behaviour revealed that HIV-related stigma remains widespread and continues to negatively affect mental health, disclosure, and engagement in care among people living with HIV.
While medical advancements have significantly improved HIV treatment and prevention, stigma continues to shape women’s reproductive experiences and public perception. Positive Journeys: Pregnancy, Strength and Living Well with HIV centers the voices of women who have navigated pregnancy alongside persistent misconceptions and the healthcare professionals working to change that narrative. The film also highlights the work of Toronto’s Positive Pregnancy Program (P3) at St. Michael’s Hospital. Since its founding in 2006, the multidisciplinary program has supported more than 400 healthy pregnancies, including siblings, demonstrating what coordinated, evidence-based care can make possible.
“For too long, stigma — not medicine — has shaped the public perception of HIV and pregnancy,” said Dr. Sivakumar, who used her monetary award from her 2025 YWCA Toronto Women of Distinction win to fund the documentary. “I want this film to show what is actually true: that with the right care and support, women living with HIV can have healthy, joyful pregnancies.”
“Many leaders view an award as a moment for personal celebration – and rightly so,” said Heather McGregor, Chief Executive Officer at YWCA Toronto. “Aditi saw it as an opportunity to do more. Her first instinct was to ask, ‘how can this become bigger than me?’ She turned a personal recognition into a platform that will resonate with women across the country who have never seen their stories told in this way. That type of visions cannot be taught. That is just who she is.”
Dr. Sivakumar noted that after witnessing the devastating effects of gender-based violence through her undergraduate volunteer work at a local domestic violence shelter in Ottawa, she knew she needed to take action. In 2018, she launched My Empowerment Platform, a digital resource supporting women and girls experiencing violence. Dr. Sivakumar is a Governor General’s Award Winner who serves as Board Vice Chair of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health at the World Health Organization, the youngest person globally to hold the role. Last September, she won the Global Impact Awards at the prestigious Women Empowerment Awards for her contributions to women’s health advocacy.
With this documentary, she channels her advocacy into its most personal and powerful expression yet. “It’s a proud moment for me to lead this campaign and bring visibility to an area that’s often forgotten, even though 2024 data from the World Health Organisation shows over 40.8 million people living with HIV, and over 1.3 million people acquired HIV that same year. This honours the very women whose stories we tell,” added Dr. Sivakumar. “Women’s reproductive autonomy must include women living with HIV. This documentary is about dignity, equity, and ensuring every woman sees what is medically and socially possible.”
The film features Dr. Mark Yudin, Staff OB-GYN at St. Michael’s Hospital, Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Toronto, and co-founder of the P3 Program.
“With appropriate medical care and comprehensive support, women living with HIV can have safe pregnancies and give birth to HIV-negative babies,” said Dr. Yudin. “P3 demonstrates what is possible when evidence-based medicine is delivered in a compassionate, stigma-free environment.
