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 Distribution IDF Events Festivals Financial support Photogallery

For several years, ten Czech and South African artists have worked together in a unique theatre project. The theme of their performance deals with one of the most intimate area of their lives: their own dreams. Obsessive dreams, unfulfilled desires, and nightmares became the common ground on which the creators, who come from very different cultures, could meet. The performance which emerged was full of imagery, humor, strangeness, and absurdity. The film follows not only the project's preparation, but also the journeys that lead black South Africans to small Bohemian and Moravian cities and the white Czechs to the black townships, where white people had previously been afraid to enter.
