The Delhi International Film Festival (DIFF) will take place from May 4 to 8 and will feature North Korea as a 'country partner' alongside Russia. Organizers are negotiating to include North Korean films, notably '72 Sigan,' which portrays the Korean War from the North's perspective and was written by Kim Jong-un. The festival, held in partnership with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), aims to showcase approximately 175 films from over 60 countries. Discussions are ongoing regarding the inclusion of other North Korean films, such as 'Days and Nights of Confrontation' and episodes from the children's series 'Boy General.' DIFF founder Ram Kishore Parcha emphasized the festival's role in fostering international relations through cinema. The event will also honor notable filmmakers and artists, including the Moroccan filmmaker Mohamed Ahed Bensouda and Indian singer Usha Uthup, who will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award.
