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 EventsFestivalsFinancial supportPhotogallery
Czech researcher Tomáš Ryška spent nearly two years in the mountains of Thailand and Laos in order to, at any cost, discover the reason for the wrongs and the violence committed against the Akha (an aboriginal Laotian tribe in Thailand) and their children. This documentary about a small group of hill people was made on the basis of actual events.
