This year the theme of the DCSAFF 2018 is “Women Empowerment”. The films will be<br />
screened from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and USA. Independent films are by upcoming<br />

Sessions and Two Panel Discussions.<br />

As part of our mission we believe that it’s important to give back to society. We are<br />
proud to announce that last year we furnished class rooms and constructed a Cultural<br />
Stage for performance, in government schools in MP, India. We participated (Shrum<br />
Daan/Labor Donation) and helped financially to construct Over Flow Dam for holding<br />
rain water on the Machwasa River at Pipariya, MP, India.<br />
Please provide feedback to us at info@dcsaff.com, your responses will help us improve<br />
our services for a better experience next time. Enjoy the movies, workshops, panel<br />
discussions, Q&A Sessions, with our guests, and most importantly have fun!<br />
