Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF)

Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) continues to uphold the legacy of Indian cinema’s founding father, Dadasaheb Phalke Ji, by serving as a prestigious platform that celebrates the spirit, diversity, and brilliance of storytelling in film. With a global footprint and growing cultural significance, DPIFF honours excellence across the cinematic spectrum while fostering new talent and narratives.

From its inception, DPIFF has stood out not merely as an awards platform but as a cultural institution, committed to bridging the golden heritage of Indian cinema with modern creative expression. The Annual Awards Ceremony, held every year in Mumbai, has evolved into one of the most eagerly awaited events in the global film calendar — applauding exceptional work across mainstream, independent, regional, and international cinema.

In an effort to further nurture emerging voices, the Global Short Film Festival by DPIFF offers a dedicated stage for budding filmmakers and storytellers. True to its belief that every story matters, this initiative elevates independent creators and ensures their voices are heard on par with established industry figures. The platform has become a launchpad for new talent, fostering innovation and diversity in storytelling.

DPIFF also takes pride in championing social responsibility through a robust CSR program. From promoting mental health and environmental sustainability to advocating for education and cultural preservation, DPIFF’s initiatives go beyond the screen — driving meaningful change through art and awareness. These efforts reflect the organisation’s deep-rooted commitment to using cinema as a catalyst for societal impact.

At the helm of this dynamic movement is Mr. Abhishek Mishra, CEO of DPIFF, whose visionary leadership has propelled the festival to new heights. With an unwavering focus on inclusivity, artistic excellence, and global reach, the DPIFF team remains dedicated to its mission of honouring cinematic brilliance while staying true to the values of its legendary namesake.

As DPIFF continues to grow in influence and scale, it calls upon creators, audiences, and changemakers to join a movement that not only celebrates the power of cinema but also nurtures it — from grassroots innovation to global recognition.
