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.

An informative stylized "walkmovie". Adam, the film's protagonist, visits different environments in order to explore a seemingly trivial and exhausted issue, i.e., the opportunities and methods of dating. Instead of formal courting rituals, there is a rise in a large number of rather dubious new practices. The search for a date is becoming a more and more profitable business. Adam meets women with the assistance of psychics, computers, stars, video and numbers. Subtle private matters come to look like TV shows or they are being solved with the help of such primitive algorithms as "we are the fastest and the most entertaining..."
