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.

SynopsisCreditsLanguagesProductionDistributionIDF EventsFestivalsPhotogallery
September 1944: A peculiar convoy is travelling eastwards from the South of France. Trucks full of files, cars full of ministers, and a five hundred man militia accompany the entire Vichy government, under Marshall Pétain, on its evacuation to the collapsing Deutsche Reich. Destination: Sigmaringen in south Germany. The Hohenzollern palace becomes a bizarre seat of government for the French collaborators. Among them was the doctor and author, Louis Ferdinand Céline, who had attained International fame in 1932 with his first novel, Journey to the End of the Night, and, who compromised himself later with dreadful, anti-Semitic pamphlets. Céline has described the Sigmaringen period in his delirious novel, Castle to Castle. The last months before the German "moment of truth", as they've never been portrayed before: Documented in delirious reality.
