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 Photogallery

Sixteen eight-year-old classmates mostly of Roma descent are the protagonists of Fledglings, a 16-part docu-soap in which the children were given cameras and, for a period of one year, captured the world and events around them. Shot from September 2009 to August 2010, Fledglings is the first Czech docu-soap project, with a few elements of reality show. In more than 500 hours of footage, the children at times find themselves in situations they would not otherwise be exposed to but finding the right solution and approach is always entirely up to them.
