The Czech documentary film Forgotten Transports to Poland by Lukáš Přibyl completes the director's unique series of four 90-minute films that create a multilayered portrait of life and survival in the Second World War. Instead of using commentary, rehashed stock footage or a few well-known facts, the film relies on personal accounts of witnesses and survivors, backed up by meticulously researched photos and other archive material. idfnewsen989 IDF - Institute of Documentary Film http://www.dokweb.net/en/documentary-network/articles/latvia-launching-riga-film-fund-990/? The City of Riga has launched the Riga Film Fund in order to attract foreign film productions with its first call for films on March 5.

Although Rabbit a la Berlin by director Bartek Konopka and producer Anna Wydra stopped short of winning the Academy Award in the Documentary Short Subject category, the Oscar night was a high point in the stunning, five-year adventure that started at the 2005 Ex Oriente Film workshop, and continued through the Documentary Campus, Hot Docs or IDA's DocuWeeks. The groundbreaking success of the Polish-German co-production is bound to inspire and encourage other East European documentary films to always aim high. idfnewsen984 IDF - Institute of Documentary Film http://www.dokweb.net/en/documentary-network/articles/one-world-to-screen-101-docs-972/? Over 100 films, dozens of international guests, streamed films online, a range of exhibitions and discussions – these are some of the things to look forward to at the 12th One World (March 10 - 18, 2010, Prague). In March and April, festival highlights will also be presented in 29 Czech cities. All That Glitters by Tomáš Kudrna (Ex Oriente Film 2006) and Chemo by Pawel Łoziński (East European Forum 2007) will be among the 16 docs in the Main Competition. idfnewsen972 IDF - Institute of Documentary Film
