Our Community Partners

Salem Film Fest is a festival of international documentary films supported by local sponsors. We are proud to be recognized internationally as an important showcase for new work. Salem Film Fest 2024 will take place in-person Thursday, March 21 through Sunday, March 24.

Community Partners are not-for-profit organizations with a cause connected to issues raised in our Salem Film Fest documentary roster. Community Partners can either promote the Fest as a whole, or a specific film they choose from our roster. We do not seek financial donations from our Community Partners. The purpose of this Community Partner relationship is two-fold: to help SFF build our audience, and to make local connections for our audiences to be able to act/become aware of the related topic.

Please note, for-profit companies are not eligible for this arrangement and are encouraged to connect with our Fest Director Joe Ferrari via email regarding sponsorship opportunities.
