(VIFF!) is an international independent film showcase, held in Las Vegas, Nevada USA, with winning films distributed to art house and independent movie theaters throughout the year. Created, programmed and operated by movie-loving filmmakers, VIFF! is unique to any other festival in the world! Where other 'traditional' festivals might lack, VIFF! strives to remain nimble and keep up with emerging
trends in the industry. For example, this year we have new awards for films created using crowd funding platforms like kickstarter.com! allows filmmakers from around the globe to compete on a multi-cultural stage for an opportunity of theatrical (movie theater) distribution and nearly 100 other awards! Taking place in the arts district of Las Vegas, VIFF! aims to offer a vehicle to get films seen, marketed, and ultimately sold. caters to a vast clientele of independent film fans, distributors, artists, producers, entertainers and filmmakers - on a regular and re-occurring basis - helping to further the chances of getting winning films sold. We have personal relationships with many members of local and national press organizations and invite/encourage their attendance at screenings, to create positive reviews and stories about our winning lineup of films and filmmakers.
