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.

A great Krakow actor, Jerzy Nowak, has battled against a serious disease for years. The film is a record of his
way of taming death and dignified preparation for its arrival. The hero is not indifferent to the posthumous
fate of his body, which he bequeathed to the Medical Academy for scientific purposes. He talks with his lawyer and friends, with full awareness and acceptance of what is to come.
