The Film and Story Festival is focused towards film, story and scripts which are created by, about and for the understanding of the wonderful contributions of Italian Films, Stories, Directors and Actors.

Venus Italian International Film Festival, was started as the 1st ever Italian Film Festival in Las Vegas, and an “IMDB Award” Film Festival. VIIFF for all Italian, and Italian American filmmakers with Feature Narrative, Short Narrative, Documentary, and Comedy focused on Italian, and Italian American talent, themes, culture, style, history or production.

Our purpose is quite simple, we make history with the impact and innovations that the Italian Culture has made in the film industry. We do this by showcasing new and older short films and features that personify the greatness of our achievements in film.

Today we face challenges such as so much content being made that many millions of young people will never see the work of some of the greatest masters of films who have ever lived.

It is our goal to preserve, promote and save Italian themed Films and the works of the men and women who spent their lives creating and loving film. To the new breed, we offer a platform and a place to showcase their work, promote their work, sell their work and of course honor their work.
