Known for being one of the most filmmaker-friendly film festivals in the world, the Dallas International Film Festival is back in-person for the first time since 2019. The three-day festival will take place October 8 – 10 inside Alamo Drafthouse Cinema – Cedars located at 1005 Botham Jean Blvd, Dallas, TX 75215.

This DIFF looks a bit different as a special weekend festival when Dallas and the world come together to celebrate film—and filmmakers. Over the years we’ve contributed more than $1 million in filmmaker awards, hosted more than 2,000 filmmakers, and screened over 2,200 films from more than 50 countries.
