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 IDF Events Photogallery

Róbert Lakatos's new experimental documentary is a 'moving postcard' from modern Transylvania. We see images of Moldavian people in a masquerade, Gypsy musicians, stray dogs in 'very realistic' locations: at the railway station, in front of the blocks of flats, at the market, in the busy streets of Cluj. Straightforwardly, without bathos, he author picks up the crumbs of our 'cultural inheritance' on the asphalt of the big, Transylvanian city with its prestigious past. "Sir Real shakes the unknown sieve. How can we know what will slip through?"
