Welcome to the Art All Night - Trenton Film Festival!
Now in its 11th year, the AAN Film Fest is a 24-hour celebration of cinema held as part of Trenton’s iconic Art All Night event, which draws over 30,000 attendees to the heart of the city. We believe film isn’t just entertainment—it’s a powerful, vital art form that belongs alongside painting, music, sculpture, and performance.
From student projects and indie gems to experimental shorts and feature debuts, we showcase a wide spectrum of work on the big screen all night long. Whether you’re local or international, emerging or established, if your film has something to say, we want to share it.
Submit your film today and become part of one of the most electric and inclusive art events on the East Coast.
