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.
Leaving Transylvania

Leaving Transylvania

La Revedere Transylvania, Germany, Ireland, Romania, 2006, 52 min, DVD, Society
SynopsisStaffLanguagesProductionIDF EventsFestivalsPhotogallery
'Leaving Transylvania' documents the exodus of the Transylvanian Saxons from Romania. The massive emigration from the early 90's wiped villages out and endangered the 800 years old cultural heritage. A continuation of this unique Eastern European minority seems impossible. The film exposes the dramatic steps before emigration and shows the disorientation of elderly Saxon couples from a village called Arbegen. Loneliness, fear of displacement, intermixed with a dose of healthy humour, charges the film with intense emotions and brings an unknown human story to life.
