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.

Synopsis Credits Languages Production Distribution Photogallery

This documentary film explores the true nature of the Czech Republic's dove-like national character. While Czechs have never won any battle and have scrapped compulsory army service, many of them - clerks, businessmen, real estate entrepreneurs - from time to time like to put on their army gear or a historic uniform and join a battle. Is it a sign of our complexes or merely an expression of an ancient atavism?
