Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the Heart @Hot Docs 2026
Award-winning director Dori Berinstein looks at the life of iconic musician Kenny Loggins of “Footloose” and Top Gun’s “Danger Zone”

A new documentary centered on Kenny Loggins is set to premiere at Hot Docs with Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the Heart, directed by Dori Berinstein. The film looks beyond Loggins’ well-known catalogue of hits to explore the personal values, life experiences, and defining moments that have shaped both his music and his identity. While audiences may know him for iconic songs tied to film and pop culture, this documentary aims to present a more nuanced portrait of the artist behind the spotlight.
Berinstein crafts an intimate narrative through a blend of archival footage, interviews, and present-day reflections, allowing Loggins to reflect on his career, relationships, and creative evolution. Conviction of the Heart leans into themes of authenticity, growth, and staying true to oneself over decades in the industry. As it premieres at Hot Docs, the film is positioned to resonate with audiences interested not just in music history, but in the deeper personal journeys that shape enduring artists. FERNTV says this is not the one to miss.
