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.

Miserable Prague - Genius Loci Rides a Bicycle

Praha mizerná - Genius loci jezdí na kole, Czech Republic, 2000, 20 min, 16 mm

Synopsis Staff Languages Production Sales Distribution Financial support

This documentary series was created through the initiative of director Štěpán Kačírek who became interested in historian Josef Kroutvor's essays from the magazine Revolver Revue. The documentary shows zones of old-time atmosphere that are gradually disappearing, and city outskirts that may not be Prague's best asset but which make Prague what it is today.
