Salem Film Fest Begins This Week at CinemaSalem

We are so excited to have this wonderful event happen in Salem every year.  I really do hope you will plan to come to see these terrific documentary films.  They are always phenomenal, and if you didn't think you liked documentaries because of the ones you see on television, you need to think again.  These are quite different, I can assure you, and really make a statement.  Just try ONE, and I believe you will be hooked.

The Hawthorne Hotel is sponsoring PIANOMANIA, and here is its schedule:

Here is the newsletter:

A wonderful, crazy, marvelous, rich, and busy week at CinemaSalem starts this Thursday with one fantastic event after another (more than 43 in a week) for your entertainment and enjoyment.


The main reason for the cinematic riches is the Salem Film Fest, for which you can whet your appetite at www.SalemFilmFest.com, where you'll find full descriptions of the 31 documentaries we'll be screening. The first official film of the fest will be shown on Thursday, March 3 at 7 pm, this time at the Peabody Essex Museum, where you can catch Bill Cunningham New York.

Also on this Thursday, March 3, is the awards ceremony for the 2011 Five-Minute Student Film Contest, a free event held at 7 pm at CinemaSalem.

And if you love French movies, check out French Film Night in the Screening Room at 7:30 that same night!

To give you plenty of time to check out the Salem Film Fest website and plot your festival strategy (and also because we have a ton of prep to finish up), we'll keep this week's missive short and sweet. So here goes!

Now Playing: Rango (PG); The King's Speech (R): and the world's best documentaries at the Salem Film Fest!

You can't go wrong with any of the 31 films we're screening at the Salem Film Fest. If you like music, there's Echotone, Tibet in Song, Pianomania, and more. If you're interested in competitive poetry, there's Louder than a Bomb. There's an amazing film from Colombia called Little Voices, which takes the voices of children affected by violence in that country, and turns their stories into an affecting and beautiful animated documentary which you will never forget.

Personally, I'm know I'm also looking forward to seeing Kinshasa Symphony, Grown in Detroit, Play Again, This Way of Life, Miscreants of Taliwood, and several others. But if previous fests are any indication, my favorite film may emerge from the ones I didn't anticipate loving, but just checked out since I was there.

But perhaps you're in the mood for an Oscar-winning Best Picture film instead? Then please enjoy The King's Speech at CinemaSalem, which will be screening on Friday at (4:45), 7:15 and 9:45; Saturday at (11:45 AM), (2:15), (4:45), 7:15 and 9:45; Sunday at (11:45 AM), (2:15), (4:45) and 7:15; and Monday-Thursday at (4:45 and 7:15.

We're also excited to be opening the awesomely-indescribable Rango this Friday, currently boasting a 92% positive rating on RottenTomatoes.com, bolstered by raves like "engaging", "ingenious", and "the most beautiful animated film since the golden age of hand-drawn cartoons", for starters.

Rango will screen on Friday at (4:30), 7:00 and 9:30; Saturday at (11:30 AM), (2:00), (4:30), 7:00 and 9:30; Sunday at (11:30 AM), (2:00), (4:30) and 7:00; and Monday-Thursday at (4:30) and 7:00.

We hope to see you this week, one way or the other! Until then, thanks for supporting CinemaSalem!
