It is the divine home to the Dalai Lama and the capital of the Tibetan diaspora, Dhamashala is a unique converging point of various cultures, religions, ethnicities and languages. Target of Dharamshala International Film Festival The primary audience of Dharamshala International Film Festival is the local, national Indian tourists and movie lovers and Tibetan population. Addressing the lack of access to high-quality, non-commercial cinema, Dharamshala International Film Festival offers the town’s residents a window into the world of contemporary film, enriching their knowledge and understanding of other places and cultures.
