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.

Amari Kris is a documentary about the traditional way of life in a Hungarian Lovari gipsy community in Békés county. The film orients around the romani kris /gipsy law/, a tradition that is believed to be extinct in present-day Hungary. The community of horse trader Lovari gypsies in Békés county invites the audience to become immersed in their way of thinking and view of the world, as well as to witness some of the gipsy traditions, a very important foundation of which is the romani kris.
