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 Sales IDF Events Photogallery

The Society of Jesus - the Jesuits - is one of the largest and most important orders of the Catholic Church. Their mission includes pastoral and missionary work, as well as contributions to education, science, culture and the arts. The order dates back to 1534, when it was founded by Ignatius of Loyola. The documentary provides a glimpse at the present state of the Society of Jesus, and it also reveals why the order had been so often considered dangerous.
