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.

SynopsisCreditsLanguagesProductionSalesDistributionIDF EventsFestivalsFinancial supportPhotogalleryArticles
The fourth and final part of the documentary tetralogy Little Capitalist that mirrors the ups and downs of post-revolution Czech society. Stage director J.A. Pitínský leads rehearsals of Bedřich Smetana's opera Dalibor at the National Theatre. A parallel staging of Dalibor is simultaneously carried out by director Karel Vachek who brings various guests - artists, scientists, intellectuals or political activists - into the theatre. Against the backdrop of Smetana's music that, according to Vachek, has mystical qualities, and inside a building that embodies a number of national desires and myths, we hear stories of individuals who have in various contexts stood up against official power and law.
