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.

Train Stops for Five Minutes
The film tells about a town N and its people. “It has been long since the sound of train carriages rolling on the rails beat the rhythm of their lives. A huge stone on the Railway Station Square reminds of the moments when the train used to stop here for longer in order to swallow thousands of people only to spit them out in the wide open spaces of Siberia. Now it stops only for five minutes. Yet this is enough time for farewell kisses and a promise to return. Town N is populated by those who have built homes and given birth to their children here for a purpose, because nothing happens just by chance. Thus, ordinary everyday life in a provincial town N hides people’s extraordinary dreams, memories, discoveries and losses” .
