SHOW ME THE PATH

The Salem Film Festival Youth & Amateur Competition (SFF-YAC) has been created for the spectator, the student, and the amateur film lover. Everyone has taken, and is on, a different path in their life, and the public wants to see your vision, wants to walk your path. Screenings of your work and informational forums will be held during the week prior to the festival at the IKE Box, and then there will be a special award screening during the festival at The Historic Elsinore Theatre.
