Pitch Doc Lab Montréal | Against the Grain

Come discover six feature film projects selected at Doc Lab Montreal. These bold works challenge the conventions of documentary cinema and rethink our perceptions of the world.

We would like to thank Rogers, Eurodoc, Main Film, ONF, CineGround, SLA Location, BamMusic, Royal Photo, Lussier & Khouzam, Vidéographe et T&S Coop for their contribution in the form of prizes awarded to Doc Lab Montréal 2025 participants.
