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.

Péter Forgács specializes in collecting amateur movies and re-editing them into unique cinematic works. This time, he presents the von Höfler family saga, which began 250 years ago. The family belonged to the aristocracy and owned a leather factory in the city of Pecs in southern Hungary. Tibor Höfler, the main protagonist, documented the history of the family throughout the 20th century, and it is his films and letters, as well as additional archival material, that give us a look at the story of his life and that of his family-his relations with women, his complex relationship with his son, born out of wedlock, his life during World War II when many of his family members were sent to ghettos and concentration camps, the communist era during which the family property was confiscated, and even a brief visit to Israel in 1967.
