Institute of Documentary Film’s Activities
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 Sidetrack

Bocznica, Poland, 2009, 44 min, Digi Beta, Personal View, Society
„Bocznica" is a film about people united by a specific and a bit forgotten form of spending free time - train holidays.
We meet people of different age - a child, youth and also elderly people.Scenes of their holidays form a mosaic of different characters and memoirs. Situations and dialogues which seem to be insignificant, illustrate a human being's struggle in life.
The pictures were taken in Hel - the last wagon town of this kind in Poland. The motif of road in this document is a metaphor of life and passing of time.„Bocznica" is a cordial, sometimes funny and touching film. It's a film about the colours of life, which turns out to be only a short stop, a moment, a side track…
