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 Photogallery

The documentary movie „The Grandfather" is a story about a polish artist and photographer, Henryk Rogozinski, whose adventure with photography began by accident. His first camera was made by his own hands. Using this prototype camera he developed his passion for photography. As a young boy he studied at a typography accademy, which gave him the knowledge about photosesitive materials, leading him to design his own complicated negative tooling process. Rogozinski launched a photography studio and a workshop for photography enthusiasts, and as a member of the Polish Artists' Photography Union, he left behind a massive franchise.
