SFF PARTNERS
The Salem Film Festival is made possible with the cooperation of these Partners:

The Historic Elsinore Theatre, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the community with an exceptional venue for live performances and film presentations. Built in 1926, the theatre seats 1,200 people. A three and a half-year, $3.5 million dollar restoration was completed in 2004. As with all nonprofits, fundraising is imperative. The idea to host a film festival as a fundraiser began with board member Elaine Sanchez. Fortunately, she connected with people and organizations that had an expansive knowledge of film along with a fervent desire to create an event that would bring exceptional films and filmmakers to Salem.

Salem Cinema, a locally owned and operated movie theater, consistently brings a delightful alternative to the usual movie going experience. With over 22 years of film exhibition specializing in first-run art, foreign, and independent film features and offering a tantalizingly delicious and unique snack bar this little independent theater is one class act. The quality presentation as well as the tailor made programming of unique films has put the theater on the map as Salem’s first choice for superior entertainment offering rare, fun and intelligent films to be enjoyed by old and young alike. The belief that film is art and that art enriches life is the passionate force that drives owner Loretta Miles and her knowledgeable staff. Together they have created a gracious environment with broad appeal to the more sophisticated and eclectic movie lover.
