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.

Estonian Stories. No Finish Line

Eesti lood. Ultravennikesed, Estonia, 2009, 28 min, Beta SP, Adventure and Sports

Synopsis Credits Languages Production IDF Events Photogallery

The finish line is merely a temporary road sign without any significant meaning. That is how it is with life as well: the fact that it has an end does not necessarily mean that existence has meaning. The finish line is simply a temporary goal that one sets for oneself, or a metaphor for quickly passing existence. Father Peeter, mother Pille and daughter Heleen Vennikas are travelling to Finland to participate in the annual ultra-marathon, which lasts for 24 hours straight. Hundreds of kilometres are covered in one astronomical day in this endurance race full of suffering at an indoor stadium in Espoo.
