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.

Borders of Smell

Hranice pachu, Czech Republic, 2006, 28 min
A documentary on the effects of intense industrial smells on humans; the stench as a phenomenon that influences human lives and freedom. From specific problems (the smell from Setuza in Ústí nad Labem) we pass, via a comic book "Mom, why does it stink so much in Ústí?", the film tracks more general issues - smell and memory, smell memory, the borders of smell, stench and death. The fear of smell can manifest itself as the fear of breathing, illustrating the lack of confidence in existence itself.
