Rough Cut Pitch, a showcase for projects from all across Canada, is back for another edition. This call is open to auteur-driven documentary projects that embrace an authentic and creative artistic approach and are currently in post-production. 

Selected participants will have the opportunity to present their project, along with a video excerpt, during a live pitch session in front of an audience of renowned international industry professionals from the documentary field, including representatives from festivals, distribution companies, sales agents, broadcasters, and digital platforms. This activity, which includes a competitive component, will feature several prizes offered by our partners — one of which is already confirmed by Vital Distribution. Additional prizes will be announced soon.

Selected teams (filmmakers and producers) must be available for the full duration of Forum RIDM’s Industry Market, from November 24 to 26, 2025, and will have the opportunity to take part in the One-on-One Pitches, the Forum’s flagship networking activity.
