LAUNCH TRAILER

Dear Filmmakers, Artists, and Esteemed Guests,

It is with immense joy and pride that I welcome you to the Delhi Short and Documentary Film Festival (DSDFF) — a celebration of cinematic voices that dare to tell stories in their purest and most powerful form.

In a world overflowing with content, short films and documentaries remain a sacred space where raw emotion, bold ideas, and cultural truths collide. This festival was founded with the belief that stories—no matter how short—can leave a long-lasting impact. DSDFF continues to be a space where new talent is discovered, unheard perspectives are amplified, and independent cinema finds the respect it truly deserves.

To our participating filmmakers: thank you for trusting us with your work. Every frame you create contributes to a larger dialogue, and we are honored to showcase your vision to a wider audience.

To our guests and audiences: thank you for being part of this journey. Your presence fuels the spirit of independent cinema, and your engagement gives voice to the stories that matter.

As we come together in the heart of Delhi to celebrate creativity, courage, and craft, I invite you all to connect, converse, and be inspired. May this festival ignite new collaborations and lifelong memories.

With gratitude and warmth,

Aditya Raj
Festival Director
Delhi Short and Documentary Film Festival (DSDFF)
