01 THE FESTIVAL
The frame is small.
The story does not have to be.
PIVFF is designed as a public-facing festival platform for concise vertical stories with cultural depth. A one-minute film can be an invitation to discover the person, place, memory or practice behind it — and to return attention to the community where the story belongs.
FORMAT9:16
Made for the screen people already carry.
DURATION01:00
Short enough to enter. Deep enough to stay.
SUBJECTHERITAGE
People, place, memory, practice and cultural continuity.
PRINCIPLERETURN
The film points back to the fuller community story.
02 FILMS & STORIES
Watch the story.
Then go deeper.
These programme cards are illustrative design placeholders only. Confirmed films, creators and programme details will replace them before public release.

A PIVFF film is not the end of a story. It is the invitation to enter it.
STORY
Start with a person, place, practice or memory — not with an effect.
CONSENT
Respect permissions, cultural rights and the authority of people whose stories are told.
CONTEXT
Short-form does not mean context-free. Help audiences understand what they are seeing.
CRAFT
Use the vertical frame deliberately. Every second, sound and cut should carry meaning.
