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.

Synopsis Staff Languages Production IDF Events Festivals Photogallery

The main character of the film Nikolay Viktorovich Zykov, a village photographer, poet and philosopher, is experiencing difficult moment of his life. It is only now, when he has turned seventy and lost his wife, he understands that this frail woman who gave birth to his eight children was the spiritual light and the foundation of their family life. Zykov cannot do his favourite hobby, which is photography, anymore. For hours he listens to the music and thinks back about the past, where he left something that he is to repent for, where there is never-ending love and happiness captured at the pictures.
