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 IDF Events Festivals Photogallery

Czech doctors have repeatedly threatened with an exodus. In most cases the problem was money. The category of love for this highly demanding profession seemed out of question. So did the drama, creativity, beauty of the profession; as well as ethics, morality and a sense of a certain vocation in life. Rediscovering these values in the tumultuous days of today would do us good. The documentary will portray two top physicians who are not going anywhere; Jan Pirk and Vladimír Beneš; although they could as their reputation goes beyond the borders of the Czech Republic. The heart and the brain; these two make man, and are more than the whole universe, as the two doctors believe. They approach their field with similar enthusiasm and high professionalism. A classical documentary without commentary or direct accounts; just images, situations, action, atmosphere and highly intimate off-screen accounts; internal monologues.
