COME TO SALEM, SEE THE WORLD

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 19th annual Salem Film Fest took place on March 26-29, 2026 in Salem, MA, with filmmaker Q&As, parties, and other special events. Stay tuned for our 20th anniversary program to come in 2027.
