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.

The deportation of Polish citizens from the Polish western regions which had been overrun by the Germans in 1939 started directly after the end of the acts of war. Hundreds of thousands of citizens from Polish towns and villages were evicted from their houses and robbed of their belongings; many of them were killed during this procedure. We describe this story from the point of view of three characters. Zwi Steinitz is a Jew from Poznań, his family was deported in the “Generalgouvernement“, and most of them were killed three years later in the death camp in Bełżec. Henryk Jaszcz was also deported in the Generalgouvernement, he was then active in the anti-Nazi resistance. Dieter Bielenstein was born in Latvia, but his family followed the call of Fuehrer “Heim ins Reich”, and settled 1940 in Poznań.
