"BREATHLESS - Dominance of the Moment" is a two-year Czech-German Project created by Zipp – German Czech Cultural Projects, an initiative by the Federal Cultural Foundation (Kulturstiftung des Bundes). The Czech side of the project is handled by the Institute of Documentary Film (IDF), the German side is covered by the Leipzig International Festival for Documentary and Animated Film (DOK Leipzig).

The first stage of the project aimed to find three Czech and three German film ideas that would be sufficiently strong to grant support for their funding and production so that, in the next stage, up to six of the selected projects could be completed, thus assisting in the production of quality creative documentary films. These films are scheduled to open at the international documentary film festivals in Jihlava and Leipzig in the autumn of 2009.
