Vesuvius International Film Festival is a festival once a month with annual screening. Our festival is a brilliant opportunity to participate in international competition.

The films of the Official selection and the winners will be selected each month, so the filmmakers will know about jury’s decision very quickly.

Every year, all the winners of the main categories will be screened live with the public. The winners of the year will be announced during the awards ceremony.

So for each entry, the author has the chance to win twice (the winner of the month and the winner of the year)

The best films will be screened live in Campania, south of Italy.

Always a theatre or cinema.
Winners will be announced on our social media pages every month (instagram: www.instagram.com/vesuviusfilmfest)

    What a wonderful festival! Simply one of the top monthly festivals on my list. My short film won the Best Short at the 13th edition (August 2021) and I'm looking forward to their upcoming editions. Truly, Vesuvius International Film Fest consists of people who are genuine, unbiased, transparent and so much fun!
