The submissions for the 24th edition of the RIDM, which will take place in November 2021, are now open! The deadline is June 15.

Thanks to the success of their online edition presented over three weeks in November 2020, the RIDM confirmed the importance of its mission and the popularity of the festival among the public. The RIDM presents the best reality-based films, including the works of established directors and new talents alike. Every November, RIDM screens nearly 150 domestic and foreign productions and hosts a unique bilingual documentary market in Quebec with its Forum RIDM. The festival organizes many complementary activities such as workshops, master classes, debates and roundtables. 

The RIDM also highlights interactive projects, from webdocumentaries to virtual reality, with its UXdoc section, dedicated to immersive experiences. The festival typically welcomes about 100 guests from outside Quebec, and hands out 10 awards selected by juries comprised of industry professionals.
