Cuban Hat Pitch is back at the Forum RIDM!

The Forum RIDM is pleased to announce the return of the Cuban Hat Pitch, in collaboration with the Montreal cooperative Makila.

The call for projects is now open. Established and emergent documentary producers and filmmakers residing in Canada are welcome to submit their projects before September 5. Any unfinished linear, serial, interactive or virtual reality documentary can be submitted to the competition. 

Five submitted projects will be selected by a committee of experts. Finalists will receive three pitch training sessions offered by Makila and accreditations for all Forum RIDM activities. The night of the event, on November 21, 2022, finalists will be invited to defend their projects on the Cuban Hat stage in front of the general public for a chance to win cash prizes and services offered by our partners.
