Saturday Night Feature Event
2025 Saturday Night at The Belleville Theatre Guild
Join us for this Special Event where DocFest is proud to present the first part of the docuseries The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal. The film will be followed by an in-person Q&A with guests; filmmaker Mike Downie and another guest (to be announced).
A comprehensive exploration of The Tragically Hip’s rise, impact and enduring influence. The first episode is an enlightening story of five high school friends who set out to rock one small town after another in the 1980s.
This homage to one of Canada’s biggest bands will satisfy die hard fans and show those unfamiliar with ‘the Hip’ why their work matters so deeply.
“…a definitive look at the Hip, tracking the band from its genesis in school dances and Kingston pubs, through hit albums, massive tours, and a 2016 farewell that brought Canada to tears”, Pat Mullen, POV Magazine
