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 Distribution IDF Events Festivals Photogallery Articles

Using the music of Bohuslav Martinů, The Chap-Book project was inspired by Rhythm Is It!, a successful social and art project developed by the Berlin Philharmonic. Working with the graduates of the Duncan Centre, the Czech project aimed to open up the process of art creation also to children who have no experience with the arts. As one of the outcomes of the project, the film shows the children's transformation as they acquire better dancing skills, become actively engaged in the show and express their excitement and joy from the success of the show and a big applause at the sold-out venue.
