Institute of Documentary Film’s Activities
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 Osnabrück Independent Film Festival provides a panel for committed filmmaking. The basic idea of the festivalis to forward tolerance within the society and between nations. Such tolerance can only be developed by knowing, understanding and dealing with one's own as well as foreign points of views and ways of life. The festival presents films that address current social and political issues, such as globalization, the rearrangement of power, migration, human trafficking, etc. Its selection of films and their deeper connection is what sets the festival apart from other similar events. The festival not only presents committed filmmaking, but also adds a didactic component to the presentation that is relevant to the medium. Each program is introduced by a presenter. The festival invites directors and qualified experts to give further information on subject matters, backgrounds and aesthetic considerations or to take part in discussions after the screenings or in workshops.


Fiction, documentary and short films concerned with current social issues. The festival takes place October 23 - 27, 2013.


FilmFest Osnabrück accepts short films and feature films produced in 2012 or 2013, that haven’t been released in German cinemas yet and can be screened as Osnabrück premieres. The deadline for film submissions is 10th June 2013. All regulations for film entries can be found in the entry form.
