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.

The Life of László Hudec: in his own words

Hungary, 2010, 26 min, HD, Archive, Arts and Culture, Portrait

Synopsis Credits Languages Production Distribution IDF Events Financial support Photogallery

L.E. Hudec (1893-1958) was a Hungarian architect who fled the vicissitudes of Europe in the early 20th century, taking with him the style and knowledge of European building design and construction. His work - spanning nearly 30 years of Shanghai’s economic and cultural ‘glory days’ - includes the first skyscraper from London to Tokyo. New archive materials surfaced from his descendants in Hungary and the U.S. show a man living at the crossroads between Europe and China. Through his childrens' testimony, through his incredible film footage, and through our research of his footsteps, his story gives an extraordinary inside look at the first rush of Europeans to China, of its first modernization, and of the turmoil of the 20th century.
