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.

SynopsisCreditsLanguagesProductionSalesIDF EventsFestivals
In North Korea, over 300.000 men, women and children languish in Nazi-style concentration camps, routinely subjected to torture, rape, beatings and starvation. Most, even young children, will never leave. One of the largest camps is Yodok.
Against all odds, a handful of prisoners have escaped to freedom in prosperous South Korea, including accomplished theater director Jung Sung San. To bring their stories to light, Jung writes and produces a controversial Broadway-inspired musical based on life in the camps. A box office success, this tour de force proves heroic as the defectors confront their nightmarish past and present-day death threats. At once inspiring and darkly disturbing, Yodok Stories reveal the enduring potential for beauty and art to rise from the depths of human suffering.
