COME TO SALEM, SEE THE WORLD 

Coming March 27-30, 2025!

Since 2007, Salem Film Fest (SFF) has brought the world's best independent documentaries and their makers to Boston's North Shore. Now the largest international documentary film festival in Massachusetts, the event annually presents features, shorts and special events to a loyal audience of thousands. The festival is mostly run by volunteers through a non-profit entity, Salem Community Arts Center, Inc.

The 18th annual Salem Film Film will take place March 27-30, 2025, with filmmaker Q&As, parties, and other special events. Our annual Lineup Reveal Party is planned for March 2, 2025. Advance ticket packs will go on sale November 24, 2024.
