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 creative documentary film and its general promotion.
IDF was established in 2001 by documentary directors and producers and its programme is therefore geared towards creative professionals.
The IDF programme is designed for filmmakers, independent producers and representatives of Central and East European broadcasters, as well as for festival programmers, journalists and the general public.
IDF cooperates with some of the most prominent European associations and training programmes, commissioning editors and distributors, and enables East European authors to take part in international cooperation.
