Vittorio Russo is an Italian director and cinematographer. His path crosses independent film, production and cinema research. Alongside shorts and music videos he has spent years building room for independent cinema: a festival, a magazine, writing workshops.

From 2022 to 2026 he was, by his own account, president of Jolly Roger Arts & Crafts APS for about four years. The association supports independent filmmakers. In that period he organised and artistically directed the first two editions of the Etruria Film Festival.

He edited Critica della Ragion Cinematografica, a print journal and a blog, and ran La Brigata Narrante, a writing circle, along with screenings and evenings on directors.

The work he is pursuing now is directing and cinematography.
