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

Autism researchers believe that autistic people can be integrated into society by a method called the Farm Program. In the northern part of Hungary, there functions a center for helping autistic children. The Center established a small farm in a village, where children were taken one by one by their tenders to get accustomed to the new, hopefully welcoming environment.The film follows the first journey of one autistic child to the farm and his meeting with the neighbors, drawing a possible perspective of this wonderful attempt from the point of view of all the parties involved.
"Symbiois" portrays the kind of helplessness that originates from the recognition of our obstacles and our inability to change them.We see the moment when a change in everyday life occurs because of the arrival of an autistic child, and nobody seems to be able to handle this change.
