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.

CentEast: Today Warsaw – 2morrow Moscow
Eastern European works-in-progress to be presented in Poland and in Russia in October

CentEast is the name of the project, which teamed the Warsaw Film Foundation and Moscow-based TVINDIE Film Production. The partners are well-known to the international film community: Warsaw Film Foundation is the organiser of the Warsaw International Film Festival, which turns 25 this year, and was instrumental in bringing the European Film Awards in 2006 to Poland, while TVINDIE’s CEO Yevgeny Gindilis is a Russian co-producer of Jos Stelling’s latest film “Duska”, the Netherlands’ contender for theOscars in 2008.

The aim of CentEast is to bring Eastern European cinema to the world. The organisers believe that the best market for Eastern European films is Eastern Europe. As Russia and Poland are the biggest Eastern European Markets, hence the events in Warsaw and in Moscow – Warsaw International Film Festival and 2morrow Film Festival in Moscow, look like the right places for the action.

The presentations will be held during the same weekend at:

Warsaw Film Festival on Friday, October 16
2morrow Film Festival in Moscow on Sunday, October 18.

The organisers are looking for works-in-progress and films before world premiere, coming from Eastern Europe. The selection criteria are:

Artistic quality of the project
Reputation of the Filmmakers
International market potential
Existence of the visual material

The selected projects will be presented to sales agents, distributors, TV buyers and festival programmers, attending the festivals in Warsaw and in Moscow.

Deadline for submissions is Friday, September 4.
Deadline for accreditations is Thursday, September 24.

CentEast is supported by MEDIA International Programme of the European Community and by Polish Film Institute.
