Background : White Crane Arts & Media Trust, in association with blueFrog, will host special film screenings from the first ever Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF) held in November, 2012. Representing the best of independent cinema from across the globe, the screenings will be held on the last Sunday of every month from April to September at blueFrog, the live music performance destination of New Delhi.

Screening this Sunday : The DIFF Film Screenings will open with Pina, the Oscar nominated and critically acclaimed 2011 German documentary on revolutionary contemporary dance choreographer Pina Bausch.
