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.

Synopsis Credits Languages Production Sales IDF Events Photogallery

Whether as sweets sellers in public busses, as drink sellers, or as one of the innumerable hotdog, snack or ware stands: the street hawkers are part of the cityscape of every Latin American metropolis including Rio de Janeiro. They represent the lion share of the so called informal labour sector. Camelô shows an insight into the lives of four of them: Luciana, Alexandre, Flávio and Carlos Augusto. The documentary also aims to analyze the causes of informality, which is responsible for more the 6% of the Brazilian GDP.
