Each year a collection of Salem Sketches are screened before each film at the Salem Film Fest. These Sketches are mini documentaries that showcase portraits of the local scene. Topics include monarch butterfly gardens, equine rescue networks, cemetery public workers, the popcorn lady, Bakers Island Lighthouse, the local cobbler, a tour of the local wastewater treatment center and so much more. Behind every shop window, behind every curtain is another story. Begun in 2013 by local filmmakers Joe Cultrera and Perry Hallinan, Sketches has developed into an annual effort by multiple filmmakers. Joe and Perry will be on hand for a show and tell of past Salem Sketches and will talk about this year’s Film Fest line up.

Free and open to adults. Light refreshments available at 9 AM. Info: Ona at ridenour@noblenet.org or 978-921-6062.
