Trash Film Festival is much more than just a review - it is a large glam-trash event in which all present play role; guests, organizers, performers and contestants. Great care is taken to organize concerts, kitsch parties and red carpet events.

Why chainsaw?

A chainsaw is a useful tool and above all powerful and attractive gear which symbolizes penetrating, devastating, but controlled male energy. It is a compound of a rational mind who seeks for the optimum between power and loss, and insane irrational mind who kills for fun in a most cruel way.
The Chainsaw will turn against it’s master in a fantastic explosion which will wipe all the world’s trash and bring us back to the point zero. To the point of primary Trash!
