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 EventsFestivalsFinancial supportPhotogallery
For some it’s garbage, for others a good gaining worth with every mile driven towards the East: Just before the annual removal of bulky refuse dozens of old Polish vans cue in the streets of the villages around Mainz, Germany. Drivers skim through piles of garbage to find whatever can be sold back home. Piotr and Jan are in this business for 15 years. The film accompanies an old tricycle, a sofa and other items from the streets of the German villages via Piotr’s van to his second hand shop in Poland and to the final new owner. Thereby it tells the stories of the people met on the way and shows a facet of a modern Europe, where prejudices are still common.
