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 IDF Events Photogallery

For centuries the Balkans has been a region ravaged by wars and conflict. Yet, paradoxically, those wars are what has allowed much of the region to remain as a pristine and untouched wilderness. The landscape belongs more to Middle Earth than modern Europe. Many wild animals that have vanished from the rest of Europe have their last stronghold here. "Wild Balkans" is an enthralling and stunning visual exploration of an area where there has been little but bad news for centuries. This spectacular film explores the region, its landscapes and the wild creatures that have lived unchanged for centuries, and holds out great hope that they will survive into the future.
