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.

Chepelyk Oksana

Deaf-Mute Chorus
A conceptual video based on Oksana Chepelyk`s performance realised in Kiev at the Center of Deaf-Mute People. If a geture of the deaf-mute has an informational capacity, the absurdity of collective gesture is transformed into an existential metaphor. It is a reverberation between exile and belonging as a reaction to United Europe and Ukraine. The project discloses the impossibility of choice, of communication and the lack of voice in the collective chorus.
