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.

From the rare pieces of wood that could be found around the family house in the center of Veles, the artist Svetozar Bogdanoski makes violins that are used for performing at the most famous concert halls in Europe. The only violin maker from the Republic of Macedonia, whose violins are sold throughout Europe. He uses the tools which are made by the same Japanese craftsman who makes the samurai swords. A music documentary on the bond of love between a father and his son, the film tells a unique story. Svetozar has never left Veles, rarely leaves his workshop, and has never heard the tone of one of his violins in a concert hall. He has never seen his son playing one of his instruments with an orchestra, either. If the journey of the violin making begins in Veles, then the end of the road for the same violin is in Barcelona in a concert hall as Svetozar, Marija and Tatjana are witnessing for the first time ever one of Kostadin’s concerts on the majestic stage.
