INDIEKIDS FAMILY SHORTS

Saturday, 10:00 AM, The Grand Theater
78 mins. - ONLY $5!

Indiekid Films is delighted to return to the Salem Film Festival for a third year of outstanding independent cinema for children and families.

Family cinema means different things depending on who you’re talking to… sure it’s something we can all enjoy, not too spooky, something mom and dad find amusing, something that doesn’t talk down to kids. In our opinion, some of the best family cinema is made by family.
