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.

Night on the City

Synopsis Staff Languages Production Distribution Festivals Financial support Photogallery

Night falls over the city of Sofia. Streets are getting lonely, shops are closing, and the late night restaurants and clubs are getting ready to welcome their visitors.
If you decide to take a walk around the city centre in the night, you will discover that all seems very different. The people you meet are different from the ones you meet during the day. Architecture acquires a romantic tinge. The air is clearer.
Using the background of night-time Sofia Night on the City tells the stories of several people who are working at that time. These people are quite ordinary and nobody seems to notice them. They are the actual heroes of our time. The heroes who have no media visibility.
