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.

Eastern Hungary 2001 - 2002. Village life offers nothing but hard, poorly-paid work in agriculture and living standards on the edge of poverty. Director Tamás Almási follows a family who decide to improve their lot and create conditions under which their children can have a better life, with their only option being to move to the city and work in a foreign factory. Hopes for the future enable them to overcome separation from their children and having to live in a hostel. During rare trips home they speak with neighbours who are trying to create better conditions there through small scale business activities. When the couple rent a flat with the help of their employer, their children join them, giving rise to a new aim: to find a house, or at least a garden, in the city. But their dreams of a better life begin to fade the moment things take a downturn at the factory.
