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 IDF Events Festivals Photogallery

A short street somewhere in Upper Silesia where everybody knows everybody. Houses here are called "familioks". A place where the tradition deeply engrained in people`s consciousness has remained unaffected by radical change. However, the building of Drogowa Trasa srednicowa will turn Piekarska Street into a highway. In March the last house was pulled down. The identity of a place that gave home to ordinary - extraordinary life will only linger in the memories of those who have moved to modern residental areas and a trace of that time will be preserved in our film.
