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 Photogallery

In the past few years in Germany, children and grandchildren of former Nazi leaders, high-power SS and Gestapo officers have spoken up about their ancestors. They shared their conflicting feelings: on the one hand, they renounce the crimes committed by their fathers and grandfathers, but still feel love and respect for them. No documentary has focused on such descendants in Hungary yet. For the first time we can hear the stories of László Endre`s son and his two grandchildren. We learn how they feel about a relative who was secretary of foreign affairs in 1944 and one of the men responsible for rounding up HUngarian Jews into ghettos and them having them transported to concentration camps.
