For filmmakers, creating a story is only the beginning. The real challenge lies in reaching the audience it deserves. That’s where the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) Global Release Program steps in — a platform designed to take films beyond borders and give storytellers a global stage.
