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 Sales IDF Events Photogallery Articles

This movie is about a theatre troop from the high-security penitentiary of Arad. Who are the "actors", this long line of names, of IDs, of sentences, of guilts...? What's happening to them, and to us, the people who are watching them sentenced by our own fears, dependences, preconceptions? And after all, where does real freedom, genuine guilt, true repentence, or real theatre, exactly stand?
