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 Distribution IDF Events

Documentary film "Children Of The Singing Revolution" is a portrait of Estonia`s younger generation who grows up together with the country`s re-gained independency. Filmmakers are searching for and finding several similarities in their stories. The main characters of the film are singers of the girl choir, starting their careers in the country which is going through The Singing Revolution. As the time goes by, the girls grow up and so does Estonia, proving its emancipation by joining the EU.
