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.

2011. Young Arabs have taken their anger and discontent to the streets throughout the Middle East and North Africa. They have brought an acute awareness of the need for change in Arab countries. But most of the world is still wondering. Who are these people? How do they envision the future of their societies? In order to understand the dreams, conflicts and life situations of these people, we will introduce young contemporary artists from different cities in the Middle East. They represent a new generation of Arabs who seamlessly integrate aspects of different cultures and philosophies into their lifestyle and work. The conflicts they have to face on a personal and professional basis heavily influence their art, creating a truly progressive underground culture. It is getting more visible in every major city in the region, making the Middle East one of the culturally most vibrant regions of today’s world.
