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.

Lethal Injection Instead of Truth

Smrtící injekce místo pravdy , Czech Republic, 2010, 57 min, HD, Current Affairs, Politics, Society
Back in 1989, we were ringing our keys at public squares in the name of truth and love that would prevail over lies and hate. Twenty years later, we often have feelings of futility, however, we still think that we have managed to uncover at least a little bit of the recent past. Many a thing yes, no doubt; nevertheless, horrifying witness accounts have emerged recently, telling about the life stories of people who tried to lift the curtain on the past regime's atrocities. An investigator of the office for the documentation and investigation of the crimes of communism was researching the circumstances of suspicious explosions in the 1990. She got pretty near, however, she got infected with a strange disease. Nobody knew what was going on; it was due to the courage of her doctor that she was proved to have been poisoned by cadmium and accidentally saved. At the next banal hospitalization, a would-be doctor gave her an injection that nearly killed her. The other stories in the film, too, tell about the sticky fingers of the regime's power that is still latently present.
