The Trinity Film Society is a student group on campus which invites those interested in film to put on school events related to film and filmmaking. The [[trinity_film_festival|Trinity Film Festival]] is the most notable of these events; others include Moonlight Movies and other special screenings. 

The Society was originally formed in 1965 with a focus on promoting film as an art medium and bringing filmmakers together on campus to talk about their work. The Society held its first film festival in 1965 at the [[austin_arts_center|Austin Arts Center's]] Goodwin Theatre, where 10 films were selected and shown over the course of several months.

Active until the mid-1990s, the Society officially reformed in 2011, working closely with [[cinestudio|Cinestudio]], a movie theater on the Trinity campus. Its first public event was a showing of the film "Up in the Air" and its first film festival was held the following year in May 2012.
