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.

East Silver Market Now Online

The East Silver Market now offers online access to its video library, with documentaries from the 2009 and 2010 editions of the Market. At the moment, registered industry professionals may stream any of the 546 titles from Central and Eastern Europe included in the East Silver Market.



East Silver Market


Online Video Library

In order to improve our services, we have launched the online video library - the best way to promote and support East European documentary films. Registered industry professionals, such as festival selectors, sales agents, commissioning editors, TV buyers and distributors, who attended the East Silver Market, have received access to the online video library.

The system offers not only a chance to watch the latest documentary films from Eastern Europe but also allows users to make notes, comments or directly contact the producer and ask for a screener thanks to an in-built email system. Producers, on the other hand, get access to comments, statistics and ratings as well as viewing reports on their films.

The East Silver streaming will also serve the East Silver Caravan because it will help to support our festival selection. Thanks to the administrator setting to select and highlight films for certain users, it is easier to make recommendations if, for instance, festival selectors are looking only for specific subject matter. The same applies to the East Silver TV Focus in the case of TV documentaries and buyers.



Industry professionals - festival selectors, sales agents, commissioning editors, TV buyers or distributors - who would like to get access to East Silver's online video library should contact Miriam Šimková at office@eastsilver.net.
