In May 2004 the first Trenton Film Festival was held with the goal
of bringing filmmakers and film viewers together to appreciate the art
of filmmaking, a unique American art form. Staff members, volunteers,
and audiences worked together in achieving this goal and making the
festival a huge success. During these past five years the number of
people helping or attending the festival is only increasing.
Some 80 films will be screened as part of the 2008 festival, a wide
variety from very short animated films to professional feature length.
This year’s opening film will be The 4th Dimension,
labeled by Filmadelphia ‘an ambitiously stylish sci-fi mystery’ by
Philadelphia filmmakers Tom Mattera and Dave Mazzoni. The closing film
will be The Flyboys, a narrative feature from Rocco Devilliers which brings action, adventure and intrigue to the next level!

Films will be screened at three venues this years, Masonic Temple
Auditorium, Contemporary Club Auditorium and Broad Street Bank, all
within walking distance of each other and S. Warren Street, where you
will find a number of places to shop or eat. Volunteers will be at each
venue in order to help you find your way around.
