The Van Nuys International Film Festival (VNIFF) is a cinematic outpost for filmmakers who push boundaries, break conventions, and redefine storytelling. Located in the San Fernando Valley, where Hollywood’s industrial machine meets the raw energy of independent expression, VNIFF celebrates films that exist at the intersection of artistry, rebellion, and innovation.

We champion works that challenge norms—whether meticulously crafted by industry professionals, boldly fragmented in postmodern experimentation, or pulsating with the restless energy of emerging artists. VNIFF is not just a festival; it’s a statement on what cinema can be in an era of constant reinvention.
