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.

Conflict of Worlds and Ages

Stories of partner relationships serve as the starting point for a study of conscience (consciousness) and its relation to reality, which is, however, shot as a suicidal attack upon the faith in the truthfulness of the documentary (which is only dogma, distorted reality). And so the love affairs of a father bringing up two daughters become a peculiar experimental verification of film theories as the screenplay was written by the author together with C. G. Jung, Epstein, Kracauer, Balázs, Vertov, Bazin, Metz and Deleuze.
