The Trenton Film Society is excited to announce the upcoming Trenton Film Festival this June 9, 10, and 11, showcasing films from around the world and from our local area as well.
The festival will be held in person at the Mill Hill Playhouse in Trenton. Fifty-two films in eleven separate programs range from local to international settings, features to shorts, and fiction films to documentaries.
On the first night of the festival, we will have two programs with feature-length movies, Everybody Wants to Be Loved from Germany and Nargesi from Iran, paired with complementary shorts. Saturday starts out with a documentary group featuring Bay St. Healer about an unorthodox psychiatrist, followed by four more programs mixing live-action, animated, and experimental shorts from the US and Brazil, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Sweden, Turkey, and Ukraine. On Sunday, the last day of the festival, we will be featuring three programs of shorts and features from the tristate area, including Seven Square Miles on the Trenton Violence Strategy. Several filmmakers are expected to attend screenings to talk about their work and answer questions.
Tickets are now available through the TFS website at https://trentonfilmsociety.org/. Tickets are $8 ($5 students) for a single program or $25 ($15 students) for an all-access pass to all eleven programs—a great deal! See the TFS website for details on schedules and descriptions of the films.
