Since its inception in 2012, the Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF), directed by Ritu Sarin & Tenzing Sonam of White Crane Film, has remained faithful to its founding mission to promote contemporary art, cinema, and independent media practice in the Himalayan regions of India and to create an engaged cultural platform that encourages intercultural exchange by bringing local and international high-profile films and filmmakers to Dharamshala. Dharamshala is a small town in the foothills of the North Indian Himalayas, home of the Tibetan exile community and their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, remote from the conventional infrastructure of international film festivals.

This year, TBA21 will feature Manthia Diawar's new film "Angela Davis: A World of Greater Freedom",  commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation with major funding from the Mellon Foundation, co-commissioned by TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary with the support of Centro Cultural de Belém Foundation, Lisbon, and Portuguese Ministry of Culture / Directorate-General for the Arts. Produced by Lumiar Cité / Maumaus, Lisbon.

The lineup will soon be online, so stay tuned.
