About SENE


The Southeast New England Film, Music and Arts Festival is based in Providence, Rhode Island. SENE seeks to involve audiences in a full range of cultural opportunities, combining film, music and art into year‐round events designed to cross‐promote the works of filmmakers, musicians and artists to new audiences.


The festival is produced by Southeast New England Film, Music and Arts, a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Donations to SENE are tax-deductible as allowed by law. The festival is 100% volunteer run. All donations go directly to producing the festival's programs and events.
