Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2023 was the glorious culmination of creative endeavours with Cinematic Tourism as the theme. With musical performances by MohitChauhan and Harmony of the Pines, the evening celebrated the grand history and legacy of entertainment in India. The most brilliant minds of the industry and their projects over the past year were felicitated on a grand scale. Abhishek Mishra quoted, “The history of cinema, movies, and the film industry has undergone many changes that transformed the movie industry from the modest beginning with black and white silent films to colourful extravaganza. The theme for DPIFF 2024 is Cinematic Evolution and the tagline is: Cinema has no boundary; it is a ribbon of dream.”

Over the years, DPIFF has evolved into the country’s most prestigious award ceremony. In a monumental celebration of talent, the gala event will felicitate the artists of the film fraternity who have put in their hard work and dedication to excel in the year 2023. DPIFF will be honouring all three prodigious segments – the Indian Film Industry, Indian Television Industry & International Film Fraternity – under the same roof. It aims to felicitate those artists of the film fraternity who have put in their hard work and have shown true promise, along with the dedication to excel. The mission, as always, is to cultivate and promote the art and science of film through education and cross-cultural awareness. The team believes that the medium of cinema as well as TV series are artforms that hold the power to bridge cultures and illuminate the universality of the human experience.

The organisation has also been at the helm of the sustainability movement for years now, leading environmental and social campaigns with an arsenal of CSR activities that make real impacts each year. The ceremony continues its endeavour to embrace and preserve the sustainable development of the society and promoting Indian Tourism globally through the means of Cinema. With the “We For World Foundation” registered under NitiAayog, the team has been working on promoting the individual bounties of each state, and has lent its voice to the Vocal for Local Campaign. In addition to this, the event will also highlight the multicultural spirit of the nation by promoting Indian Art and Culture on a global platform.
