The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) is to open its 13th edition on November 10 with Les Fros (The Foreigners), a film about northern Canadian logging camp workers by Stéphanie Lanthier.

The co-production between DOC Productions and the National Film Board of Canada looks at forestry work where “old stock” Quebecers are increasingly replaced by immigrant workers responding to an industry labor shortage.

Lanthier explored the world of tree planters in her 2004 film Deux mille fois par jour, and now turns to brush cutters in her latest documentary.

The 13th RIDM runs from November 10 to 21 in Montreal.
