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.

Frozen Angels
Frozen Angels is a mesmerizing work that is not so much a science film as a startling conduit into the future of the American Dream, where "perfect children" can be added to the shopping list. In their visually enthralling documentary, Eric Black and Frauke Sandig brilliantly evoke an atmosphere of familiar otherworldliness as they survey the field of assisted human-reproductive technologies.

Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth is the third collaboration between Eric Black and Frauke Sandig. After the Fall (1999), their first film together, documented the mysterious, disturbing and almost complete disappearance of the Berlin Wall ten years after its fall. The film was awarded the German Camera Prize and a Golden Spire at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Translated into thirteen languages, it was broadcast on public television worldwide including PBS. It was selected for more than 40 international film festivals, including Berlin Int. Film Festival, IDFA Amsterdam (Int. Competition), Karlovy Vary (Int. Competition), DOCAVIV (Int. Competition) and MOMA New York. Frozen Angels (93 min.), premiered on Sundance International Film Festival in 2005, “a mesmerizing work that is not so much a science film as a startling conduit into the future of the American Dream, where "perfect children" can be added to the shopping list. In their visually enthralling documentary, Eric Black and Frauke Sandig brilliantly evoke an atmosphere of familiar otherworldliness as they survey the field of assisted human-reproductive technologies."
