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.

When she came back to her hometown Zadar she became aware that struggle for her rights and "normal life" is at its very beginning. Ana is aware that living together with her son is too much to expect. The social workers named her to be his legal guardian, but her son refuses to see her. After she was released from the prison a new life begins, struggle for her child, finding a place to live, a job to do, facing the reality of ‘freedom’ and new expectations.
