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.

Full-length picture of four short films of four directors:

Test: Václav Švankmajer, feature film
Motocyklení: Markéta Válková, documentary
Veci: Marta Hrubá, documentary
Grandmother Nemcová's Diary: Jan Gogola ml., documentary

Four short Czech films have made their way to the screen. They share a common theme: the things that are so ordinary that affect us all. The films are presented with just the right amount of humor and poetry. What they also have in common is an ambition to inspire the audience to think, rather than just be persuaded, as is so popular nowadays. Three documentaries and one feature film were originally planned for the screen. The films convince the audience that it is still worthwhile to go to the cinema to see documentaries and short films.
