Honouring Legacy, Celebrating Cinema & Empowering the Future

Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) stands as a towering tribute to the rich cinematic heritage of India, drawing inspiration from the visionary Dadasaheb Phalke Ji, revered as the Father of Indian Cinema. Established with the objective of recognizing excellence in the field of cinema, DPIFF has become a global name, celebrating the diverse voices, stories and contributions that define the Film & Entertainmentindustry.

With an unflinching commitment to uphold the values and vision of Dadasaheb Phalke Ji, DPIFF serves not merely as an award platform, but as a cultural movement that bridges the timeless legacy of Indian cinema with contemporary creative expression. Each year, the festival acknowledges outstanding achievements in the film fraternity across mainstream, independent, regional and international cinema through its prestigious Annual Awards Ceremony, now recognised as one of the most awaited celebrations in the global entertainment calendar.

Expanding its canvas further, the Global Short Film Festival curated by DPIFF serves as a vibrant platform dedicated to budding and independent filmmakers. This initiative echoes the festival’s core philosophy: that every artist, regardless of background or reach, deserves a stage as grand as the stories they tell. By providing emerging creators with visibility equal to leading stars, DPIFF has catalysed numerous breakthrough journeys in filmmaking and storytelling.

Staying true to its belief in social responsibility, DPIFF has actively taken strides beyond the cinematic sphere through impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. These endeavours are rooted in causes ranging from environmental sustainability and education to mental health awareness and cultural preservation. Through thoughtful collaborations and on-ground activation, DPIFF’s CSR wing is committed to building a better world — one where art meets empathy and creativity meets compassion.

Behind this visionary movement is a passionate and forward-thinking leadership team. Under the dynamic stewardship of Mr. Abhishek Mishra, CEO of DPIFF, the festival has witnessed exponential growth in stature and global resonance. With a vision rooted in inclusivity, excellence, and the celebration of cinematic legacy, the DPIFF management is determined to continue expanding the festival’s horizons while keeping its purpose grounded in homage to the great Dadasaheb Phalke Ji.

As DPIFF continues its journey, it invites artists, audiences, and changemakers to partake in a movement that not only applauds brilliance in cinema but also nurtures it from the grassroots to the global stage.
