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 Distribution

Documentary film on two seasons of a traditional Prague puppet theatre. After teatring down the former Central Puppet Theatre on Senovážné square in Prague, the group and puppets were homeless. They wandered through the city until they discovered the old Scaut cinema, where they settled. This venue on Vodičkova street in Prague was as a theatre and thus the new modern puppet theatre Minor was born.
