Online Dalit and Adivasi Film Festival 2025

Join Bonington Gallery in celebrating cinema that amplifies marginalized voices and honours the enduring legacies of Dalit and Adivasi communities.

Organised by Neeraj Bunkar, a PhD student in the School of Arts and Humanities at Nottingham Trent University, The Dalit and Adivasi Film Festival (DAFF) 2025 is a platform to showcase dynamic and transformative works in visual culture created by Dalit and Adivasi filmmakers. These communities have a significant tradition of storytelling, yet their voices are often marginalised or overlooked in mainstream film circuits. DAFF seeks to amplify their narratives, perspectives, and creative expressions by bringing their work to a broader audience.

More than just a celebration of cinema, DAFF 2025 aims to foster critical engagement and dialogue. Visit the Bonington Gallery website for a full list of the DAFF 2025 films and online screening schedule.
