Institute of Documentary Film’s Activities

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.

Movies and television have long since become true industries. Thousand of jobs are created and then die with the launch of a new TV series or film production. These products then circulate on a large number of media that continues to grow. Nowadays, the worlds of broadcasting and movies are flat. Trade is increasing and producers were among the first to experience relocation. In Praha, the Maigret series was shot, a major French television product for years.

The Master Class Culture, Production, Distribution explores these trends by emphasizing the role that countries like France or Czech Republic can play against Anglo-American competition.

At the initiative of the Master 2 professionnel Cinéma-Télévision-Nouveaux Médias, University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in association with FAMU and with the assistance of the French Embassy, will organize workshops on October 2 and 3
