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 Staff Languages Production IDF Events Festivals Photogallery

Péter T. Zselensky, a writer, poet, translator and journalist professes himself to be a full-time bum, a survivor, and last but not least a Diogenides, i.e. A descendant of Diogenes. He makes a very strong impression on people, although he describes himself, with considerable self-irony and through the eyes of a detached observer, as a "skeletal man with deformed limbs and flag-like hair". He abandoned his flat, book and records a long time ago, however, his company is sought after by students because he is a refined and cultural man, who claims to have revived the 5 hundred-year-old tradition of philosophical dialogue.
