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.

During the occupation on August 21st, 1968, some 20 divisions of the Soviet army entered the Czechoslovak territory. Others were ready at the border and were to arrive later. They were three Polish divisions, a Hungarian one and two Bulgarian regiments. The Ostrava TV studio is preparing a great social documentary by director Marcel Petrov, dramaturgist Josef Albrecht and subject author and script writer Luděk Navara. The axis of the documentary is defined by two underlying stories. One of them is the life story of Karel Petržílka from the Milovice military base who ended up in prison and later on the edge of the society for singing the song Ivan, Go Home. The other story is that of Martin Krejza who had to deal with Soviet occupation in the town of Vysoké Mýto and later became its mayor.
