CREATIVE COMMUNITIES
Supporting spaces for creative conversations and collaborations
SGFA funds Film Heritage Foundation, which is a non-profit organisation set up by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur in 2014. It is dedicated to supporting the conservation, preservation, and restoration of the moving image and to developing interdisciplinary programs to create awareness about the language of world cinema
Support for Dharamshala International Film Festival - founded in 2012 by filmmakers Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam, the festival is held annually in McLeod Ganj, a town without a single commercial cinema. The festival focuses on showcasing bold, independent cinema, documentary films, and nurturing local talent. It transforms an unlikely setting into a vibrant meeting ground for filmmakers and cinephiles. With its adventurous programming and intimate atmosphere, DIFF has grown into one of India’s most distinctive independent film festivals hosted at the Tibetan Children’s Village.
