Convocatoria DIFF

El Dallas Film, una organización sin ánimo de lucro 501(c) 3, lidera la educación cinematográfica y el reconocimiento y la celebración de la excelencia en el arte del cine, la televisión y los medios digitales.

The 16th annual Dallas International Film Festival hosted by Dallas Film, doesn’t just screen films; we showcase and celebrate all types of content. The interaction between story tellers, audiences and the Texas community is what we strive to develop both during the festival and throughout the year.

DIFF2022 is a global adventure that boasts premiere screenings, nightly red carpets, daring documentaries, eye-opening short films, environmental film-making, nightly parties, filmmaker panels, award presentations, and an enhanced filmmaker hospitality program that includes city tours and a VIP Filmmakers Lounge where filmmakers, celebrities and our audience can all come together to discuss film.

Como novedad, este año se hará hincapié en el cine familiar, las películas con historias protagonizadas por personas discapacitadas, los veteranos de guerra y los contenidos deportivos.

El mundo está cambiando y el Festival Internacional de Cine de Dallas se está adaptando a los fluidos apetitos visuales de nuestro público. El DIFF 2021 proyectará películas en salas tradicionales, al aire libre y en línea.

Le invitamos a añadir su voz a la conversación. En el DIFF, los cineastas están invitados a participar en diversos programas, sesiones de preguntas y respuestas y una serie de mesas redondas. Los institutos y universidades de la zona de Dallas acogen clases magistrales en las que los cineastas tienen la oportunidad de hablar de su trabajo y sus carreras con una nueva generación de creadores de contenidos.
