The Vertical Film Festival (VFF) is a film festival held in Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 2014, the Festival was conceived to encourage exploration of vertical film and video. This nascent format is variously referred to as tall-screen, portrait format, 9:16 aspect ratio or simply vertical video for short. The VFF was the first worldwide competition to be held for vertical videos and has since become a biennial event with public screenings in suitably vertical venues.

| - The Vertical Film Festival (VFF) is a film festival held in Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia. Established in 2014, the Festival was conceived to encourage exploration of vertical film and video. This nascent format is variously referred to as tall-screen, portrait format, 9:16 aspect ratio or simply vertical video for short. The VFF was the first worldwide competition to be held for vertical videos and has since become a biennial event with public screenings in suitably vertical venues. The Festival has been widely cited for its early engagement with the vertical format by Harvard University's Nieman Journalism Lab, in textbooks, in patents for new technologies, in academic papers, by the ProVideo Coalition, and in media sources ranging from Norway's public broadcaster NRK to Wired Magazine, ZDnet, the Huffington Post, Editions Financial, the Chicago Tribune, Guachazh in Brazil to L'Obs in France. The Festival accepts submissions of moving image works created on film, video, computer or mobile devices providing that the frame is taller than it is wide, and the video is of at least high definition resolution. Its stated aims include giving amateur and professional filmmakers alike encouragement to explore the aesthetic possibilities of the oft-maligned vertical format in its formative years as commercialisation of the format proceeds apace. As such it screens a broad mix of live action fiction, animation, video art and documentary works. The Festival's website also offers a 'tips & tricks' guide to would-be vertical filmmakers dealing with various practical problems posed by having to work against apparatus and editing software often only designed for shooting horizontally.
