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 Staff Languages Production Distribution IDF Events Festivals Financial support Photogallery

Documentary film about a painter and a graphic artist Jiří John who is a significant representant of the Czech post-war art. He was born in 1923 in Třešť, in the central Bohemia, the local nature inspired many of his works. The nature, to which he was
closely attached, was the main source of his themes. John´s work was fully appreciated after his death in 1972. The documentary film Fruit falling of itself is a fragile and attentive portrait which was realized with John´s wife, also an artist, Adriena Šimotová and his brother Vladimír John. His friends – theoretician of arts Jaromír Zemina and poet and translator Jan Vladislav – complete this portrait with their erudite notice.
