It’s that time of year again when Salem opens its doors for the International Documentary Salem Film Festival, an opportunity to see high caliber films downtown Salem. Most films are shown at Cinema Salem. The tag line “Come to Salem, See the World” says it all…see films from Yemen to Canada with opportunities to meet many film makers and ask them questions about the films. Several movies will have their American premier at the festival others are more well known. Visit www.salemfilmfest.com for more information.
