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.

20 Days in Tibet

Synopsis Credits Languages Production IDF Events Financial support Photogallery

This film tells the story of a group of people from Zagreb who travel with Croatian, Nepalese and Tibetan guides on a journey from Nepal to the beautiful Tibetan highlands. The journey takes them on a meandering route from Kathmandu via Lhasa to western Tibet, to make a pilgrimage, or kora, to the sacred mountain Kailash. This itinerary allows the travellers to adapt quickly to life in the mountain ranges of Tibet, without succumbing to altitude sickness. Of the group, only the scriptwriter - Dubravka Manola - is familiar with this landscape. She took part in a similar expedition ten years earlier and has a strong spiritual connection with Tibet. The purpose of this very special film is to create an authentic record of the travellers’ preparations in the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, as well as their adventures and experiences in Tibet.
