Dharamshala International Film Festival Celebrates Growth and Independent Cinema
The Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF), co-founded by filmmakers Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam in 2012, has grown from screening 32 films on DVD to showcasing 88 features, documentaries, and shorts. Initially aiming to provide a community space for independent cinema and foster interaction between filmmakers and audiences, DIFF has evolved over 14 years. The festival continues to champion independent and first-time filmmakers, avoiding big-budget or star-driven projects, and is now run with greater experience and streamlined organization.
