The 2013 edition of the Salem Film Fest is in full swing and runs through next Thursday, March 14th. The fest has earned it’s reputation for being one of the top documentary festivals in the northeast over the past decade, and this year is no exception. You can check out the entire fest at their official website, http://salemfilmfest.com
Saturday has cleared up from yesterday’s snowstorm, and Kim and I are on the ground in Salem and will try to take in several films today. And there’s something for everyone too – serious, funny, for the kids…you want it, they got it today. The weekend is when the fest really gets going, because there are so many films to choose from. As always, many of the films will feature Q&A’s with the filmmakers following the screenings.
Here’s the Saturday schedule, by venue – shows will expand to the National Park Service Visitor Center and Peabody Essex Museum today as well as the shows at CinemaSalem.
