RIDM Montréal International Documentary Festival

The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) is one of North America’s leading documentary film festivals. Each year, the RIDM presents around a hundred Canadian and international documentaries. Its industry event, Forum RIDM, is Québec’s only documentary forum. The RIDM seeks foremost to promote and reflect on the most stimulating and diverse visions of documentary cinema. From work dealing with hot-button issues to daring creations that renew the language of cinema, the RIDM’s selections are aimed at an annual renewal of our relationship with the world and with the documentary as an art form. Originally conceived as a filmmakers’ festival, the RIDM also works to bring artists and audiences together. For 12 days, master classes, round tables, and thematic discussions are organized for the general public and industry professionals.
