DATE CHANGE: DaVinci Int'l Film Festival Postponed to February 2024

Due to the ongoing industry strike, the DaVinci International Film Festival (DIFF) has been postponed to February 23-25, 2024.

DIFF Board of Directors made this difficult decision after careful consideration. The strike has had a significant impact on the industry as a whole, and we believe that postponing the festival is the best way to ensure that we can deliver the high-quality event DaVinci fans and supporters have come to expect, and more importantly, make room for these very important negotiations.

We [DIFF] are committed to standing in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA during this time. We believe that their fight for fair wages and working conditions is essential to the future of the entertainment industry.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and continued support at DIFF.
