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.

Survive Afghanistan

Synopsis Staff Languages Production IDF Events Festivals Financial support Photogallery

A full-length documentary about a Polish military mission to Afghanistan. The film is split into three chapters. The first one involves preparations for the mission, with the soldiers training and building their team. Then we see the soldiers in Afghanistan, in everyday military service, working for the locals and dealing with the separation from their families. Finally, we see the homecoming and also the way the soldiers have to adapt to ordinary life again. The four protagonists dreamed about being soldiers when they were kids. Two years ago, they decided to go Afghanistan, not because of cash but because it was a matter of military duty, loyalty and honour. The film shows the price soldiers and their families have to pay. Can they have a normal life again?
