Trinity Film Festival
The Trinity Film Festival is an annual event that showcases international student-made films 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 annually, 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 awarded to films based on the evaluations from of a panel of qualified judges. These judges have included a founder of Cinestudio, a professor of film, and a director of a casting society.
In 2020, TFS went 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.
