2012 Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal (RIDM), Nov 7-18


The 15th annual edition of Les Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal (RIDM) or Montreal International Documentary Festival kicks off tonight with the Quebec premiere of Peter Mettler's beautifully trippy The End of Time. Director Peter Mettler will be in Montreal to present his film, as will producer Ingrid Veninger. Tonight's screening at the Monument National is invitation-only, but a second public screening will take place on November 9 at 5:30 p.m. at the Cinémathèque québécoise. The film is in English with French subtitles.

The closing night film will be the North American premiere of Journal de France by Raymond Depardon and Claudine Nougaret.

The festival will present 110 documentaries from 38 countries. Highlights include Leviathan by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel; Ex Press by Jet Leyco; Être là by Régis Sauder; and Off Label by Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher. The many highly-anticipated Canadian features include The Fruit Hunters by Yang Chung, The Carbon Rush by Amy Miller, Le chant des ondes by Caroline Martel, Jeppe On A Friday by Shannon Walsh and Arya Laloo, and Ma vie réelle by the late Magnus Isacsson.

A special night will be presented in honor of Isacsson on Sunday November 11, during which a selection of his friends will reminisce about his commitment as a filmmaker. A special award was created in his memory: the Magnus Isacsson Award presented by the ACIC/NFB, Cinema Politica, Doc Québec and the ARRQ. It will be awarded to a socially conscious work by an emerging Canadian filmmaker.

Other programs include 15 years, 15 all-time favorites in which the festival celebrates its first 15 years by inviting guest programmers to choose their favourite documentaries.

RIDM will be presenting their 8th edition of Doc Circuit Montreal, Quebec’s documentary market. It will be held from November 11th to 14th at the Cinémathèque québécoise, and provide filmmakers their choice of panels, workshops, two conferences on developing films from Quebec for the international market, and meeting opportunities with over 30 local and foreign decision-makers.

The 15th Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal continues to November 18 at the Cinémathèque québécoise, Cinéma Excentris, the Grande Bibliothèque, Concordia University and Centre Phi.
