Beyond the red carpets and glittering lights, the entertainment industry and the arts are fueled by a potent force: vision. It’s the spark that ignites groundbreaking stories, pushes artistic boundaries, and leaves an indelible mark on culture. And at the DaVinci International Film Festival (DIFF), we’re proud to celebrate this creative spirit with our Visionary Award®. More.
