Institute of Documentary Film’s Activities
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.

Porodní plán

Czech Republic, 2007, 90 min, DV, Creative, Health, Social Issues
What does childbirth look like? How can it affect the baby's life? And how does it affect the life of the woman? What are the current conditions in this country under which we bring children into this world? In this film we explore a terrain that is somewhat dangerous at times; we maneuvre between the camps of mutually hostile groups: supporters of medically controlled birth on the one hand, and natural birth supporters on the other. Their argument involves the very nature of childbirth. Is it a medical procedure or is it an intimate event in the life of a woman? In this situation, we as women cannot be merely unbiased observers for we are directly affected by the whole conflict. This film traces the state of Czech obstetrics. However, ours is not a common, dryly objective portrait. Rather, it is a guide for personal use as well as a comprehensive tool that provides insight into the issue.
