Looking back at @diff.india 2025, it still lingers
in the people, in the pauses, in the quiet of it all
There was a kind of transcendence in the air, something beyond cinema
in conversations, in silences, in moments that didn’t need words
Grateful for the people I met, the creators, the souls that stay with you long after
Sharing a few postcards from Dharamshala Film Festival 2025
for a new time
for the love of cinema
and the mountains
