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.

SynopsisCreditsLanguagesProductionIDF Events
The story of a man whose life touched the past and the present of several European countries. An extraordinary artist, a photographer who recorded the early days of the Charter 77 and who in 1981, after he was granted a political asylum in Britain, became a leading theatre photographer for all major British theatre houses and their directors and stars. The theatre director Terry Hands called him “the Cartier-Bresson of theatre photographers”. He was a true work alcoholic and, as such, it was only fitting - he found his death after the day of hard work on another famous London stage – An Old Vic. Some say he was always looking for danger. He was filming Czech dissidents being followed by the secret service. He was photographing the prisons and its dissident inhabitants and so on. On British stage he was famous for his energy and constant movement on rehearsals and during the performances.
