The Fest will take place March 26–29 at three local venues: Cinema Salem, the Peabody Essex Museum and the National Park Service 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 will be shared soon on the Salem Film Fest website.
