Greening Cinema: DPIFF’s Environmental ‘Go Green’ Initiative with the Indian Army
Cinema is not just about telling stories — it’s also about inspiring change. This year, the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) took a powerful step toward a sustainable future by launching its “Go Green” initiative in collaboration with the Indian Army.

A Tree-Planting Drive That Matters
As part of this initiative, DPIFF and the Indian Army joined hands for a massive tree-planting drive, symbolizing a commitment to protecting the environment. Each tree planted represents not only a contribution to nature but also the promise of a greener tomorrow for future generations.
Cinema Meets Sustainability
Known for celebrating the best of Indian cinema, DPIFF has extended its influence beyond the screen by addressing real-world issues. The Go Green initiative proves that film festivals can be more than glamour and red carpets — they can be platforms for positive change.
Recognition and Impact
The initiative received wide recognition, both from environmental organizations and the film fraternity. By working with the Indian Army, DPIFF has sent a strong message that sustainability is a shared responsibility.
A Greener Vision for the Future
With this initiative, DPIFF has shown that cinema and community can walk hand in hand. Just as films inspire hearts, actions like these inspire society to think, act, and live more sustainably.
DPIFF’s “Go Green” campaign is more than an initiative — it’s a movement, planting the seeds of hope and growth for a brighter, cleaner tomorrow.
