The Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival is a not-to-profit, non-commercial & India’s only independent film festival, established in the year 2011 in Delhi NCR with a mission to celebrate the cinema & work of aspiring, young, independent & professional filmmakers. The festival is important for the Indian film industry as it is organized on 30 April each year to mark the birth anniversary of Late. Shri. Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, who is regarded as the father of Indian Cinema & fondly remembered as Dada Saheb Phalke by the film fraternity across India & globe. Its aim is to recognize the enlightening, entertaining & progressive new age cinema of youth & experienced filmmakers.

Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival aims to celebrate excellence in cinema. Dada Saheb Phalke started the movement of cinema in India in a real sense & he is the symbol of excellence. His contribution to Indian cinema is unparalleled. Today Indian cinema is touching the sky in terms of both content & technology but it is worth mentioning that it was started by legendary Dada Saheb Phalke and we are just carrying it forward.

Founded by the Educationexpo TV, a leading entertainment research & branding company and managed by Miniboxoffice, Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival provides a chance to filmmakers to showcase their creativity. While the festival is open to filmmakers of all ages, we feel that just as it is imperative that we should support and encourage participation by filmmaking community members & professionals, it is also important that we find and cultivate the future members of the entertainment industry.
