Join us for the 17th Dallas International Film Festival

It’s a special time when Dallas and the world come together to celebrate the art of film and filmmakers. Since 2006, the Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) has become the place for storytellers and audiences to connect and experience film as a community.

Over. the years we’ve contributed more than $1 million in filmmaker awards, hosted more than 2,000 filmmakers, and screened over 2,500 films from more than 60 countries.

The Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) returns this month to the Violet Crown Cinema in West Village, located at 3699 McKinney Avenue in the Uptown neighborhood of Dallas.  Special thanks to Premier Sponsor Virgin Hotels Dallas and to Festival Lounge Sponsor Vestals Catering.
