It’s that time of the year again. The Himalayan sky of Mcleodganj would look a bit gloomy with the cold season having set in. The gushing streams of summer slow down as the origin points have been choked by ice. What’s left for the tourist at the onset of the winter of November is something quite fascinating that lures the movie buffs across the country.

The fifth edition of the Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF) is all set to take place from 3-6 of November in the beautiful mountain town of McLeod Ganj, Dharamshala ¬– home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the meeting point of a rich and cosmopolitan mix of people and cultures.

DIFF 2016 registration has begun and can be done online on Book My Show. This year, DIFF is once again supported by its long-term partners, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, the Government of Himachal Pradesh through its Departments of Tourism and Language, Arts and Culture, and NFDC (National Films Division Corporation of India).

The first edition of DIFF was held in 2012. Since then, it has established itself as one of India’s leading independent film festivals. DIFF’s cutting-edge and eclectic programming, which includes many India premieres, and its policy of inviting as many directors as possible, has made it one of the ‘go-to’ events in any cinephile’s calendar. At DIFF 2015, 5000 cinema enthusiasts not just from the local area but also from across India and the world watched films.

Here are the 6 films you can look forward to at DIFF this year.
