Swing on by at 7pm tonight, we will be reading your scripts and discussing next year's The Movie Years Today film festival! 42 Dundas st W in Trenton!

In case you missed it, here's one of the shorts that played on the Saturday night - the filmmakers have made it available to view online for a limited time only!

What a fantastic week! Tonight we finish the festival with a rare glimpse into Trenton's film history with a 40-minute documentary about Belleville's School for the Deaf circa 1920's!

Spectacular performance last night from HILOTRONS for our special presentation of "Carry On, Sergeant!" What a unique way to bring a piece of our local history back to life! A very special thank you to our gracious hosts at the Centre Theatre and our sponsors City Of Quinte West, Prime Focus Productions and Quintessential Credit Union!

Catch a piece of Canadian film history! "Carry on Sergeant", filmed in Trenton in 1928, plays at the Festival on Tuesday at 1:30pm and again at 7:30pm. The evening screening will be accompanied by two members of HILOTRONS with a score comprised of classic film themes by Ennio Morricone. At the time it was made, "Carry on Sergeant" was the largest-budget movie made in Canada. Ticket prices are $5 for the matinee and $8 for the evening performance. Don't miss it!

Still lots more film fest to go! Tonight we're showing three documentaries: Common Ground by Sean Scally, Old Growth by Tess Girard, and "A Hope in Hell" by Doug Knutson. Be sure to join tonight at 7pm in the Centre Theatre.

We wanted to share some moments from the Red Carpet at our Gala on Friday evening. Many thanks to Mike Gaudaur of Quinte Studios for photographing our event.

Some great coverage from this year's Opening Gala Friday night! You won't want to miss the rest of the festival, we still have 5 screening blocks, including a special presentation of "Carry on, Sergeant!" Tuesday night featuring a LIVE score performed by the HILOTRONS! http://www.insidebelleville.com//5944595-trenton-s-3rd-an/
