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.

Grandparent Relations or How the Granddaughter and Grandmother Pulled on the Beet and Could Not Pull It Out

Pravztahy aneb Jak vnučka a babička tahaly řepu a nemohly ji vytáhnout, Czech Republic, 2009, 20 min

Synopsis Credits Languages Production Distribution Festivals Photogallery

Generation gap present in everyday arguments between a grandmother and a granddaughter, the film director, leads to her decision to leave. The image of the house being emptied both in time and space combined with a long and agonizing dialogue becomes the basis of a harsh and yet familiar documentary, an insight of a personal reality, where pity combines with reproach, and where in spite of mutual accusation, there is no one to blame, as the recorded situation cannot be accompanied by nothing but misunderstanding.
