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 Woman with the 5 Elephants
Swetlana Geier is considered the greatest translator of Russian literature into German. She has just concluded her lifework for Zurich's Ammann publishing house - completing new translations of Dostoyevsky's five great novels - known as the five elephants. Her work is characterised by a sensual feeling for language and an uncompromising respect for the writers she translates.Her life has been overshadowed by Europe's varied history.Together with the film director Vadim Jendreyko, the eighty-five-year old woman is making her first trip from her chosen home in Germany back to the places of her childhood in the Ukraine. The film interweaves the story of Swetlana Geier's life with her literary work and traces the secret of this inexhaustibly hard-working woman. It tells of great suffering, silent helpers and unhoped-for chances - and a love of language that outshines all else.
