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

Lancia Thema is a film about a trip with an unusual destination, along unfamiliar landmarks. The close-mouthed protagonist (Dabernig himself) passes through deteriorating Mediterranean countryside in the eponymous sedan, then stops suddenly, gets out, and takes a picture of his car. Like the actions of the staff in WARS, the driver's movements (and the film's as well) follow ritual patterns: self-absorbed driving (accompanied by bel canto arias playing on the radio) always leads to a photo session. Meanwhile the camera abandons man and car, turning its attention to the surrounding countryside in meticulous pans.
