Institute of Documentary Film’s Activities
Founded in 2001, the INSTITUTE OF DOCUMENTARY FILM (IDF) is a non-profit training and networking centre based in Prague, Czech Republic, focused on the support of East European documentary films and their wider promotion. Our activities support filmmakers through all stages of completion – development, funding, production, post-production, and distribution. We aim at individual filmmakers (tailored consultations), groups of carefully selected professionals with projects or films (Ex Oriente Film, East European Forum, East Silver, Doc Launch, etc.), broader professional community (East Doc Platform), as well as the general public (portal www.DOKweb.net). We closely work with key int. festivals, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, markets, or training initiatives and serve as the GATEWAY TO EAST EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM.

Doc Launch Presentation - Confirmed consulting editors

Every year, the participants of the Doc Launch Presentation go through a preparatory session with rehearsal moderators and film editors. IDF is proud to confirm this year's couple of editors who will come to Prague and attend the two-day workshop held within East Doc Platform.

Doc Launch Presentations annually introduces the most promising documentary rough cuts form Eastern Europe, providing the producers with an opportunity to confront the audiences of film professionals from Europe and North America.
