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.

In the summer of 2005, two guys came up with an idea to organise an unprecedented event - a festive lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people’s parade in Riga, the capital of Latvia. Following the example of similar LGBT parades in Western cities, they decided to call it "Pride". They did not know that their good intention would spiral into a chain of inconceivable events lasting several years. The astonishing unearthing of Pride in Riga as shown in Kaspars Goba’s work, starting from its inception in 2005 through to the announcement of Pride not being held in Riga in 2010, enables the viewer to consider these events from a different perspective. It makes one contemplate the role politicians play in manipulating people’s ideals, and ask: what is the price of democracy in Latvia?
