Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam, filmmakers and Dharamshala natives, founded the Dharamshala International Film Festival in 2012. It is celebrated yearly in McLeod Ganj, which is well known as the Dalai Lama’s exile house. The festival has earned a reputation for its eclectic and experimental programming, picturesque mountain backdrop, and intimate and cinema-literate ambience, which focuses on showing the best indie films from India and worldwide. DIFF welcomes the best indie filmmakers, film critics, and film fans from all over the world, not just India. DIFF was India’s first and only major film festival to be totally online in 2020. DIFF expanded its influence across South Asia as a result of this, and many people were able to participate.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The festival was dubbed “India’s Sundance” by the Asian Age. “It has now become a go-to event in my diary,” remarked leading film critic Namrata Joshi, a regular DIFF visitor. I like the atmosphere, the intimacy, warmth, cheerfulness, and the fact that it allows you to breathe and absorb the movie.”

Beginning on November 3, 2022, DIFF 2022 will be held in a hybrid format. The actual festival will take place in Dharamshala from November 3 to 6, and the online programme will be available for a longer duration. You can attend the film festival by staying at our picturesque Resort in Dharamshala, located very close to the venue that hosts the film festival.<\/p>

Awards and Prizes<\/p>

There are no prizes at DIFF. It operates under the assumption that celebrating good cinema does not necessitate competition or market forces.<\/p>

Rules and Terms<\/p>

1. Starting on November 3, DIFF 2022 will be a hybrid edition. If the scenario changes due to the epidemic, the event will only be available online. The physical event will be held at McLeodGanj from November 3 to 6. For a more extended amount of time, the online edition will be available.<\/p>

2. Festival dates may be advanced or postponed depending on the conditions caused by the pandemic. In the event of a postponement, all submitted films will be considered for screening later, and the notification period will be adjusted accordingly.<\/p>

3. Please let us know whether you’d like your film to be part of our online programme.<\/p>
