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.

Hela always dreamed about farm with lot of happy animals. Three years ago she left her job, sold her apartment and started to build a new life. Today, she lives with fifty goats, two cows, two horses, a donkey named Blanka and a pig named Roža. Hela knows name and nature of every single animal. On her farm there is no compulsion and punishing, every animal works as much as it wants and as much as it can. If animal is too old for working, it goes to retirement.
