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.

East Doc Platform

Project Market with one-on-one meetings scheduled upon request from VIP guests as well as producers, a smartly structured system of meetings with in-advance scheduling, scheduling service available also on the spot during the event. Project Market connects all East European documentary professionals whose projects and films are selected for the intensive networking and for one-on-one meetings with all of our commissioning editors, buyers, sales agents, distributors, festival programmers and film funds representatives.
