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.

Synopsis Credits Languages Production Sales IDF Events Photogallery

The main line of the movie is comprised by a story of the first ever Sex shop in Slovakia. Karol Raffay had started his own business after the November revolution in 1989. He and his family sex-business as well as democracy in Slovakia basically
undergo the same process and the movie is finding the parallels between these two.It tells a story of the shop, its customers, sexual history of the country with big volition and small self-confidence. It shows sexual life of Slovaks against a background
of social, political and other changes. Slovak citizens can vote in free democratic elections for the first time, they can walk into a legal Sex shop for the first time as well. The situation is the same as in the postcomunist countries in the Europe. Both
freedoms cause them problems.
