It’s time!

If you have a film, a story, a piece of work that needs to be experienced with a room full of people - send it our way. There’s nothing quite like watching it with an audience that’s really there for it.

Submissions are now open.

It’s never just about watching a film. It’s the room, the questions, the conversations that spill out after, the people who stay till the end credits. That’s what makes DIFF what it is.

Submissions for DIFF 2026 opening soon!
