Be the DIFF, See the DIFF, Make the DIFF!

Our organization creates economic impact through working with film productions coming to this area and the annual film festival. Other areas of impact are the Reel Learning school program for La Plata County students and free programs such as Coffee Talk with Filmmakers and Filmmaker Panels, which take place during the festival. Your gift reinforces our efforts to draw visitors to La Plata County, to inspire and educate audiences and students in our community, and to support independent filmmakers.

Bring Our Community Together

Durango Independent Film Festival (DIFF) brings community together in a shared experience – sparking conversation and better understanding of our world, our neighbors and ourselves.

Support Independent Filmmakers

Support independent filmmakers – artists with great stories to tell – but who truly need our support to reach an audience. If a film shows in the forest and no one sees it, did it make an impact?

Bring Award Winning Films to the Four Corners

DIFF brings unique and award winning films to the Four Corners that would be unlikely to be shown in any other forum here.

The Impact of Your Donation:

Your donation will help more independent filmmakers share their stories.
Although called “independent,” they are truly dependent on you.

And so is our much-admired Durango Independent Film Festival.

If You Love Films and You Love Durango, You Already Love DIFF!
