Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) stands as a living tribute to the man who gave Indian cinema its first heartbeat—Dadasaheb Phalke Ji, the revered Father of Indian Cinema. Today, DPIFF has evolved into a powerful global platform that not only honors cinematic excellence but also champions the transformative spirit of storytelling across borders, languages, and generations.
At its core, DPIFF is more than an awards platform—it is a cultural movement, a celebration of India’s rich cinematic soul, and a launchpad for the voices that shape its future. Each year, the Festival brings together a constellation of talent—ranging from mainstream superstars and legendary filmmakers to fearless independents and rising regional voices. Through its prestigious Annual Awards Ceremony, DPIFF recognizes groundbreaking work in cinema, OTT, television, and global storytelling. The event has become a landmark on the international entertainment calendar, admired for both its grandeur and its substance.
In alignment with its inclusive vision, DPIFF’s Global Short Film Festival offers a dynamic and democratic space for emerging filmmakers. This initiative speaks to the heart of DPIFF’s philosophy: that great storytelling knows no hierarchy. By offering young creators a world-class platform alongside the industry's finest, DPIFF empowers the next generation of cinematic visionaries to dream louder and shine brighter.
But DPIFF’s commitment doesn’t end with the camera.
Rooted deeply in social responsibility, DPIFF’s CSR initiatives extend its influence beyond the screen into the real world. From promoting environmental sustainability and mental wellness to supporting education and preserving India’s cultural heritage, DPIFF’s outreach embodies the powerful intersection of art, awareness, and action. Through strategic partnerships and grassroots programs, the Festival ensures that creativity contributes meaningfully to community well-being.
At the helm of this visionary journey is Mr. Abhishek Mishra, the dynamic CEO of DPIFF, whose leadership has propelled the Festival onto the global stage while keeping its essence anchored in homage to Dadasaheb Phalke Ji. Under his guidance, DPIFF continues to scale new heights—expanding its reach, amplifying untold stories, and reimagining what a film festival can truly be.
As DPIFF moves forward, it opens its arms to filmmakers, artists, audiences, and changemakers worldwide—inviting them to be part of a movement that does more than celebrate cinema. It shapes it. It nurtures it. And it safeguards its soul for generations to come.
