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 IDF Events Festivals Financial support Photogallery

The film about Věra Čáslavská is an evaluation of her life. With seven gold and four silver Olympic medals, she is the most successful Czechoslovak female athelte as well as the fourth most successful Olympic female athlete in the world. After her breathtaking victory in Mexico City in 1968, she was announced the second most popular woman of the planet after Jacqueline Kennedy. In 1968, she signed the 2000 Words Manifesto. Despite her enormous fame, which she deserved for her incredibly hard work and endurance, she lived a troubled personal life. Her life story reflects the situation in Czech society, both in the communist regime and after 1989. Always actively involved in building a healthy civic society, Čáslavská's life story is truly unique and remarkable.
