2010 RE:IMAGE FILM FESTIVAL

RE:IMAGE showcases the works of artists and filmmakers who deliver inspiring, uplifting and faith-filled messages through film and digital media.

Our mission is to support and encourage the next generation of visual storytellers; to explore the glory of God's creation, reveal the perseverance of humanity in challenging times, and uphold and defend the dignity of the human person. Participation is open to all faiths and places of origin.

The Diocese of Trenton is extremely blessed and grateful for all those who participated in our first annual short film festival this past April! RE:IMAGE 2011 is currently in the planning process and we are expected to announce the springtime date and location in the coming weeks. We will also be introducing a one-day film production workshop for high school participants this fall. Stay tuned!
