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.

S3D Documentary Closer to Reality / July 2 - 5, 2012 / Prague
A workshop with high quality professionals in the field of stereoscopy and filmmaking, meet with the professionals and discuss about solutions for problems connected with the use of S-3D technology in documentary movies with emphasis on preparation (script and storyboard). The First day will be devoted to theory, script and storyboard preparations. Following days will focus on hands-on experience.

You don’t need to have a previous knowledge of stereoscopy 3D, you will discover how the greatest movies were done and why simply putting two cameras next to each other can never produce a good stereoscopic 3D movie.
Are you ready to share your concepts ? Stereoscopy 3D movie filmmaking will not have any more secrets for you.

Ciant can offer scholarships, for this we would need a motivation letter. The maximum scholarships offered is of 5 per Workshop. Scholarships are available especially to participants from EU new member states (Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia) or with interesting project in development!
