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 Staff Languages Production Sales IDF Events Festivals Photogallery

Being a transition country on the way to the European Union, Croatia is facing dilemmas and hard decisions. Individuals are anxiously trying to read off their destiny and their chances in future. The film is about everyday life, plans and dreams of "dairywomen" from Zagreb’s green markets. Their popular cottage cheese with cream could either become a Croatian brand or could disappear due to new rules and regulations. How does the world politics affect the lives of these people and their families? Do they and their cheese have future? Will their sons, daughters and grandchildren inherit the long acquired family skills or will they leave their farms and leave the country to search for a better job?
