DocHouse began in October 2002 as a weekly screening programme showing brilliant, international documentaries at cinemas around London. In 2010, we joined forces with Bertha Foundation, and thanks to their extraordinary support, in March 2015 we were able to open the Bertha DocHouse screen – our 55-seat dedicated documentary cinema housed in the Curzon Bloomsbury.

Bertha DocHouse Screen

The Bertha DocHouse screen offers a vibrant programme of international, cross-genre documentaries, as well as filmmaker Q&As, masterclasses and discussions, 7 days a week.

We aim to celebrate the depth and breadth of the documentary form, showcasing films that you won’t see anywhere else, festival favourites, themed seasons and retrospective screenings as well as the very best new releases.
