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 Sales Festivals

A unique portrait of Jožo Ráž, a Slovak pop music star, who, over the course of his spectacular career under different political regimes, has experienced the thrill of power. The film playfully situates the musician against the backdrop of Slovak national pride, and the musician directly and physically vies with the Czech director, who, by repeating actions and gestures, expresses a circular cycle of progress in which nothing ever ends and everything begins again, and in which blissfulness and banality cannot be separated.
