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.

SynopsisCreditsLanguagesProductionIDF EventsFestivals
Belarus seems to be the only country in Europe where the state authorities have switched to the Soviet past again. After a short period of liberal changes, the society has been directed to a non-civilized mode of development. Belarusian journalists have sensed all the methods the authoritarian regime can use. Their publications were closed and professions were forbidden for them, their colleagues disappeared, they themselves were put into a jail. And they were tempted as well. Few of them have managed to stand this ordeal. Freedom of speech, its ideals were real not long ago, but now they have become dangerous to one's professional activities, to family and life. This film is a look at various Belarusian journalists to see how they make their choices. We must see the importance of being earnest in the times when the social and economic structures are changing. This choice between conscience and temptation, between fear and dignity turns out to be too difficult. The film contains the facts only. These are the facts of struggle between freedom and slavery. These facts make up the picture of morale existing in a state that is called the last dictatorship in Europe.
