The Rough Cut Pitch highlights auteur-driven documentary projects in the editing or post-production stage that are distinguished by current and compelling themes and a unique artistic approach.

This initiative gives filmmakers and producers a unique platform to showcase their work at a crucial stage in its distribution strategy. They will have an opportunity to present their projects to a panel of influential industry representatives and may also receive awards or support from our partners.

*This year, we are pleased to open the call for Canadian projects and, for the very first time, international projects. Stay tuned and submit your project between June 1 and June 19 and become part of the 2026 cohort!
