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.

In March 2012 in Prague, the Institute of Documentary Film introduces the inaugural East Doc Platform - an umbrella industry event dedicated to East European documentary films in all stages of completion. The event follows up on our industry section organized from 2001 in Jihlava.

The East Doc Platform creates a friendly and inclusive environment where quality creative documentaries can fine-tune their story and visual style, and find suitable partners for co-production and distribution.
