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.

Young, enthusiastic “English teacher” arrives to Georgia to be part of a “linguistic revolution” in the country. He is one of thousand English speakers sent all over Georgia under the Georgian President’s initiative to teach English every school child. The project is part of country’s policy to make rapid transition from the Post Soviet to European country and get rid of Russia’s influence. The teacher is determined to change a village, but then the village changes him.
