The Thomas Edison Film Festival (TEFF) is an international showcase celebrating innovation in filmmaking, inspired by the pioneering vision of Thomas Edison. Since its inception in 1981, TEFF has sought to honor Edison’s legacy by promoting creativity and artistry in the moving image, much like how Edison’s films revolutionized visual storytelling, and his phonograph changed the way people experienced sound.

Visit our official Thomas Edison Film Festival web page for a full list of films being shown!

Almost all the funds that we receive from the State of New Jersey are distributed among the nonprofit organizations that we support as part of our Regrant Program. Just a small amount is retained for administering the program, however this only covers a fraction of our costs. We must make up the difference with the help of our sponsors and supporters, contributions by our members, and our fundraising activities. Any contribution you can make really does make a difference!
