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 a firm understanding of 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). In 2021, DFI along with its partners and sponsors, will produce a First Class
………………………award show, honoring burgeoning Creatives with ‘Junior Leo’s’, art scholarships, and donations to art
…………………………..programs for 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.
……………………………Our format is yet another standout as the festival qualifies quarterly winners with the Vitruvian Awards™ in feature, short,
………………………… documentary, animation, and screenwriting. These Vitruvian’s go on to screen at the live Showcase Event in Los Angeles,
……………………………California for their shot at The Leo and other prizes.
…………………………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.

COVID-19. However, in effort to keep Creatives creative, DIFF launched the ultra-short COVIDaVINCI program as part of its 2020
