The Trash Film Festival is a festival of low-budget action movies, and it doesn’t feature drama, documentary or art films, but exclusively entertaining films which can be put into one of the following categories: action, martial arts, science-fiction and horror. Exaggeration in genre attributes is desirable.

The TFF is more than just a review - it is a large glam-trash event in which all present play role; guests, organizers, performers and contestants.

According to the organizer, the aim is to enable participants to show their low-budget movies in a proper movie theater, to lay out red carpet for them and to reward them for their contribution to film magic to give audience to see the most entertaining part of the recent low-budget output, and to encourage genre film production in Croatia to help “serious artists” to get back on path.
