Vesuvius Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The Vesuvius Film Festival in Pompei is an environmental and social film competition organized by the Arteggiando association and centered on cinema that promotes sustainability, heritage recovery, and ecological awareness. It is notable for its “Plastic Free” identity, its mix of short films, feature films, documentaries, and international works, and for combining screenings with debates, meetings, and awards at venues in the Vesuvius area, including Pompei. Its significance in the festival circuit lies mainly in its role as a specialized regional showcase for environmentally focused and independent cinema rather than a major mainstream international festival.
