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 Credits Languages Production IDF Events Festivals Photogallery

Family Fortune, directed by Tonislav Hristov, is an intimate portrait of a Bulgarian family - the filmmakers own - that tries to make a living in the midst of unemployment and difficult circumstances. The country is joining the European Union in the beginning of 2007 and many young people have moved abroad to find better jobs and opportunities. Hristov himself has lived in Finland for eight years but the main focus of the film is on his family and their life in their homeland. The father has just lost his job after 36 years and is trying to find a new one, which proves to be hard - as well as the car equipment business his other son is trying to keep up.
