The Dunedin International Film Festival (DIFF) returns for its eighth year with a curated lineup of indie films from around the globe.
Whether you’re deep in the indie film scene or just looking for something (DIFF)erent, this festival delivers four days full of culture and connection. It features a mix of genres from thrillers and dramas to documentaries, while showcasing both international filmmakers and local talent.
Joseph Restaino, producer of “What We Hide” starring McKenna Grace and “Pig” starring Nicholas Cage—is among the filmmakers doing Q&As.
Between screenings, attendees can get glammed up for red carpet photo opportunities and mingle with directors and artists over cocktails.
Events happen across HOB Brewing Co., the Dunedin Fine Arts Center and the Fenway Hotel.
