Salem Film Fest (SFF), the largest all-documentary film festival in Massachusetts, is pleased to announce its second annual Lineup Reveal Party. The event is scheduled for Sunday, February 25, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Cinema Salem. Doors will open at 5:00 PM with the program beginning at 5:30 PM.
This complimentary event offers attendees an exclusive preview of the Fest’s 17th edition, featuring a showcase of film trailers and specially recorded messages from the filmmakers.

QUOTES FROM FILMMAKERS
“Really enjoyed the festival and your great film-supporting community. Congrats on coming back to life with a bang… Just a terrific and fortifying experience all around.”
– Holly Morris, EXPOSURE, THE BABUSHKAS OF CHERNOBYL
“Your enthusiasm, generosity, and hard work made me and my film feel very welcome. It was fun hanging out with the organizers and the other filmmakers, and I appreciated the staff’s attention to detail from the projectionist to the volunteers handing out postcards and stickers. The live(!) audience was engaged and our conversations continued for many hours after the screening.”
