The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) is one of North America’s leading documentary film festivals.
Each year, RIDM presents around a hundred Canadian and international documentaries. Its industry event, Forum RIDM, is Quebec’s only documentary Forum RIDM.
Founded in 1998 by a group of Quebec filmmakers, RIDM aims to present a selection of the year’s best documentaries. Early editions showed about 40 films over five days; today the festival has grown to have a schedule of more than 120 films along with retrospectives, debates, and parallel activities. Since 2004, it has also included a documentary market, Forum RIDM.
