The DaVinci International Film Festival (DIFF) is a premier international destination for independent filmmakers, hosted at AMC Theatres at The Grove. The festival celebrates the Architects of Cinema, awarding excellence in the Masterwork with the prestigious Leo Award®.
Established in 2017, DIFF is a 5-star, top-reviewed platform honoring independent creatives across four signature categories: narrative, documentary, animation, and screenwriting.
Beyond the screen, DIFF hosts panel events including FilmAfrica, The Writers’ Corner, and UP, to name a few. In 2024, the DaVinci Film Society launched the Junior Leo Program, fostering the multidisciplinary spirit in burgeoning creatives and providing a powerful platform for the next generation of storytellers.
