Trinity Film Festival
The Trinity Film Festival is an annual event that showcases student made films from across the country and around the world at Cinestudio. It was founded in 2012 by faculty member John Michael Mason and the Trinity Film Society. The first festival was held on May 5th, 2012.
A committee of student volunteers and Film Society members under Mason's direction receive and review film submissions made by undergraduate students throughout the year. 20-25 submissions are selected to be shown each year, and the filmmakers are invited to attend the Festival that occurs in the spring.
All the selected films are shown at Cinestudio, and an awards banquet is held after where cash prizes are handed out based on a panel of judges. These judges have included a founder of Cinestudio, a professor of film, and a director of a casting society.
In 2020, TFS went completely virtual and live-streamed the selected films and awards banquet due to the pandemic. The following festival in 2021 premiered the films at Cinestudio again as well as offering a live streamed option of the films on their website.
