“Diaspora” refers to the dispersion and migration of a people from their homeland and the communities they form in new lands.
The Saskatoon DFF explores themes of migration, immigration, and cultural diversity by showcasing works of both established and emerging filmmakers. The festival pays special attention to independent Canadian filmmakers from ethnic minorities.
The 2023 Saskatoon DFF is the inaugural version held by Paivand Society for Cultural Dialogue and aims to foster understanding and discussion among different people. By giving voice to “Others” we hope to diminish stereotypes and prejudice and promote dialogue over conflict.
