      Since 2007, Salem Film Fest (SFF) has brought the world's best independent documentaries and their makers to the North Shore. Now in its eighteenth year, this celebration of documentary filmmaking presents a diverse collection of the year’s best work from all over the world.

      The Fest will take place March 27–30 at three local venues: Cinema Salem, the Peabody Essex Museum and the National Parks Visitor Center. Enjoy three days of in-person screenings at PEM, plus filmmaker Q&As, parties and other special events around town.

      The official film lineup and schedule can be found on the SFF website.

      This festival is made possible by volunteers from the Salem Community Arts Center, Inc. PEM is proud to be the presenting sponsor.
