When filmmakers and longtime Dharamshala residents Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam started the Dharamshala International Film Festival in 2012, their main aim was to give the local community a platform to watch good alternative cinema. Eight years later, DIFF has become one of India’s leading independent film festivals and draws audiences from across the country and further afield.
The 9th edition of DIFF will go online from 29 Oct to 4 Nov 2020.
