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.

Despite the news of Hungarian Filmunio's demise earlier this summer when the Hungarian Motion Picture Foundation was shut down by the government, Filmunio has continued operations.

Filmunio is likely to be under the control of the Hungarian National Film Fund, the new governmental support body lead by CEO Agnes Havas and Film Commissioner Andrew G. Vajna. The new system of the Hungarian film industry is expected to start working at full speed after the Parliament enacts the new Film Law that would name the Hungarian National Film Fund as the main (or only) support of the film industry. The current Film Law still names the Hungarian Motion Picture Foundation as the distributor of film grants, although it has been unable to fulfil its duties for the past year due to its insolvency.
