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 Languages Production IDF Events

In May 2004, 8 former "Eastern Block" nations joined the EU. Studio West sent 4 film crews on journeys by train, bus, car and ferry to capture the hopes and expectations of travellers from these new EU-countries. Each of the reports proved challenging for the filmmakers due to the restricted travel route, where upon they end with the arrival at their final destinations.
