WHAT’S THE DIFF?
Well, it begins with OUR NAME …
As we see it, Leonardo da Vinci was the epitome of the divergent and creative mind — a luminary — and we aim to recognize much of the same at
our festival — Creatives who break boundaries and pull us into new worlds.
Like many festivals, we set out to honor the best of independent cinema from around the world and do so by taking into account the full scope of
creative integration with any given project. From performances to color correction, score to sound design, our Jury is tasked with assessing each
film based on an overall cohesiveness as it relates to storytelling. In addition, DIFF shines a very important light on screenwriting at STORYLINE.
DIFF founders are intimately familiar with, and appreciate the full cycle of independent filmmaking and the demands therein. From perils of
financing, through the distribution of any given work — the process is often unforgiving. Most of these creative projects can take a short lifetime to
complete, and whether or not a filmmaker’s work is showcased at DIFF, we encourage them to keep pressing forward. We pride ourselves on
…………………communication and understanding the creative mindset.
………………… Another standout at DIFF is the DaVinci Film Institute (DFI) program, sponsored by the festival’s NGO component,
……………………… DaVinci Film Foundation (501.c.3). This November (2020), DFI along with its partners and sponsors, will produce a First Class
……………………… award show in Washington D.C., honoring young Creatives with ‘Junior Leo’s’, art scholarships, and donations to art
………………………… programs for middle school and high school students. The Institute and its partners are committed to supporting
……………………………new filmmakers and artists from around the world in cinematic arts, music, fine art, and architecture design†. Learn
………………………… more at davincifilminstitute.org. Interested in sponsorship? Contact us!
……………………………Our format is yet another standout as the festival qualifies quarterly winners with the Vitruvian Awards™ in feature, short,
………………………… documentary, and screenwriting. These Vitruvian’s go on to screen at the live Showcase Event annually for their shot at
………………………… The Leo.
…………………………PERSPECTIVE. At DaVinci we have it; and it comes with the understanding this is a long and steady race with many
……………………… of our competitors having been in the circuit for decades. But our aim is not to compete — our branding and past
……………………… performance will speak for itself — but to build and cultivate a trusted platform for the independent filmmaking community
…………………………and establishing ourselves [truly] as an organization created for filmmakers by filmmakers. We pride ourselves on
………………………… delivering an intimate, exclusive, and First Class event to not only honor our Creatives, but advance their careers.

TRAJECTORY
LOOKING AHEAD
DaVinci International Film Festival is a boutique Showcase Event
with conscious design of being an accessible yet high-end
brand and award platform for the independent filmmaker.
Unlike most festival formats, DaVinci qualifies only a select few
to showcase at the annual event. This format allows for quality
time with each filmmaker and screenwriter and the ability focus
on delivering a First Class for our audiences.
In 2021, DaVinci will host its first Vitruvian Award Showcase in
Europe, and by 2025 the festival model will be articulated in a
number of countries with qualifiers for the annual event.
[DaVinci Film Festival] “A mini Cannes in the making?”
- The Hollywood Index
While operating an international film festival is often viewed
strictly as a business, those behind DaVinci will never lose sight
of why we do what we do, and that — at the very core — is an
insatiable love for storytelling through film, and to honor those
who invite us into new worlds that forever change us.
