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.

Pitch.Doc

Pitching Forum
Countries: Georgia
Deadline:24.09.2010
Start:08.12.2010
End:11.12.2010

Pitch.Doc, a documentary pitching session, takes place under the Tbilisi International Film festival (TIFF). The Pitching Session is open for documentary film projects in development.
Georgia, as convenient geographical location, has an important role being meeting point for neighbors like Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Moldova. We would like to use this opportunity in order to create an open space for meeting documentary filmmakers from different countries. Furthermore, to give them a chance to find additional funding sources fortheir projects.
Why documentary? Project participant countries, all having the same communist past, are still in difficult transitional process from being a Soviet state to becoming European country. This effort is complicated, but very interesting to depict, especially for documentary filmmakers. We hope that meeting will support co-productions and collaborations between participant countries and create useful networking platform in future.
