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 IDF Events Photogallery

In statements about Lenin, as a rule, there are two diametrically opposite points of view. For some, it's the torch, the genius of all time; for others, he is the emanation of evil. But in all these perspectives, either the great saint or the great villain has one thing in common - "the great". How did this man break through not only the history of Russia, but influenced the history of the world, too. Perhaps the answer lies in his specific personality, as shown in the film. The filmmakers tried to show Lenin through the memories of those who knew him - his colleagues, contemporaries and friends. The documents and photographs used in film come from the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History which was, until recently closed, to researchers.
